ATSOBE. I used to do burnouts all the time with my 1968 Cadillac. It had tons of torque, but only from was, just like our cars, it came equiped with mechanical ESP and VDC. I simply pulled out the fuse for my power seat, which was also used for ESP system, pour some bleach mixed with Tide on the ground and either rev the engine to 5000RPM in neutral and shift to D or hold the brake hard and rev to 5000RPM for a minute and release the brake. If this doesn't wokr you can also fully apply the parking brake, because they tend to confuse the car to thinking the wheels are not sliding.

Good luck and keep us posted

Are you serious? Do you know why AWD don't loose traction easily? It's because all 4 tires are gripping onto the road. When you try this energy from engine moves from engine to tranny to driveshaft to tires to ground, and the weakest link in the change breaks. In RWD and FWD cars the weakest link is usually between the tires and ground. Guess where the weakest link would be in a AWD car. Probably your drive train. Do this and you can kiss your torque converter or gear or diff goodbye.

For the love of god, please refrain from doing this.

That does explain a lot, though.

I suspect I must have fallen on my head as a baby.

Do it in the snow (empty parking lot or industrial field if one is convienently located near you)!! I'm having a blast in the ML.

Actually it could be done with traction control off and in an automatic. I didnt see the video, but after I bought the C350 for my wife and having it for a week, thought I would see how well it can spins the tires. I turned off traction control and from stand still, mashed the pedal from drive. It was blacktop surface, but left two marks about 4 feet long.

I assumed if I had even small amount of liquid under each tire, maybe just enough where you cant see it, but the tire is wet, will smoke them.

That or strap on a big bottle of nitrous and smoke them down to the metal
