Hmm? I can't burn out or my car can't?

The line lock I had worked like a champ, got it from evosport. I was running hoosiers, so made it easy to heat up the tires. Now, before the line lock, could still do a burnout, esp off, car just seemed to buck around a little more at the start due to the rear brakes grabbing.

It sounds like you're holding down the brakes too hard. Put very little pressure on the brakes and mash the throttle. It's really not that difficult!

This is an old video but here is a brake standing burnout on my old 2010. Pretty easy, traction control "off", manual mode, left foot brake, right foot gas and away she goes.
I suspect Dr Q didn't completely disable traction control.

There is a stall limit on all torque converters... you maybe trying to rev the engine to high with the break on...
First off doing this is not the best for your car and second if you cant figure it out on your own probably best to not do a burnout at all because odds are your car will get wrecked when you slide sideways into a curb of bounce off some cars in the parking lot. Not to mention the others that have tried to show off and ended up with tickets lol
If your on private property that you own by all means have at it till the tires burst.

Agreed. I think Dr Q is pushing too hard on brakes. Think about it. It's like pooping; you can't if you're holding sphincter really tight.

I'll give it a go in a little while. It is certainly possible that the computer over rides the Brake Torque Management when you put it in the right traction mode. what i read in the op is that his rpms go up to 2500 and back down over and over again, which sounds like a rev limiter to me....a very low one. which indicates a clear interruption by the ecm.
i always remove it when i tune cars anyways, you know, for burnouts!

when you have your foot on the brake there is something preventing the engine from building revs

^^ dunno about you guys but I can hold the brake and smoke the tires through 1st, 2nd and even 3rd.
Wonder if poster knows how to turns ESP off completely by holding it down for 10seconds or until it says off on the dash.

Its very possible the newer c63 have something the prevents burnouts from standstill using brakes. It was in my m3 and only way around it was tune or line lock

It doesn't use brakes, it simply does not allow the throttle to open much even if you floor it. It can also reduce spark timing, etc etc.... It's called Torque Management and it is present at many different times....through shifts to save transmission wear, when you stab the throttle the ECU can reduce timing because it ANTICIPATES knock (even if there is no knock) and 100 other instances for power reduction. All of these things can be (should be able to be) corrected with a tune. Most of the power gains, from what I understand, with a C63 tune come from simply allowing the throttle to open all the way, lol.

Thank you guys for all your concerning and kind reply!!
I actually didn't even know I could put my car in ESP-off mode by holding the button..
Whenever I tried.. I push that button once to turn into ESP-sport mode..
And I was also holding the brake 100%.. -_-;;;;;
Yeah.. First is always the hardest..
I was going to try but there are still snow on the road near my house..
So maybe this weekend!! I will try and let you guys know!!
Again, thank you for all the replies!!

After 6 months of ownership the V has been great and I do not regret my decision one bit. The power delivery and handling is impressive for such a heavy car. Much easier and cheaper to modify. An upper and lower pulley swap, cold air intake, injectors, exhaust and tune put these cars over 600 @ the wheels.
I loved my C63 but GM got this one right.

Do you own a C63?
