Standing Burnouts...
Okay... got your attention.
But I was wondering why my accelerator kicks off as soon as I step on the brakes.
I ask this not for doing standing burnouts but when I do trackdays I occassionally lightly use the brakes for trailbraking when settling the car at speed.
And I would also like to do a standing burnout.

Nope, only partialy disables it. For real trail braking, the ONLY way is to put your car in dyno mode my friend. Down side NO ABS and an open diff that will peg leg on you once you get back on the power. I have tracked my C32 frequently and can tell you that the FASTEST lap times are with the ESP off, and NO dyno mode. I am not sure what tracks you are driving on, but trail braking really did NOT help me at my favorite two. If you are SERIOUS, buy a quaifi posi, $1400 for the unit only, and then put the car into dyno mode, and tighten your belts
For a stock C32, simply turn ESP off, and learn how to drive her like this
See yeah
PS: NO disrespect implied or intended. Just lots of track time my friend

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
Everyone keeps saying the Kleeman LSD is $900 around here too-
Anyone make it to MAM, Road America, (I'd ask about Brainard-its my closest, but not well known)?
I have an event 3-5th of July-I'll try running my Pirelli's off different ways.....
So far, ESP off, Dyno mode "on", and S mode with the occasional button-
and driving like a retard when I can.

MRAMG1... thanks for the info.
Yes, turning off the ESP does nothing really to the brake interfering with the 'throttle-by-wire". This is the first car that is fully electronic that I track. Last was a 1985 Carrera which was an FI but also cable actuated. And of course my vintage racing 60's cars.
As you said, I will learn to deal with it. I have no need to change out the rearend. And trackdays are minimal for the MB.
As for which tracks I run. I run with Checkered Flag Racing Association, www.CFRA.net
Thunderhill Raceway, Northern California www.thunderhill.com
Infineon Raceway, (Sears Point Raceway, Sonoma, Ca)
Laguna Seca/Mazda Raceway, Monterey, Calif.
