My "non lsd" C63 spins both every time!!

I just recently purchased our 2012 C63 sedan, which I'm enjoying ALOT! Prior to the purchase I was very adamant about not skimping on the LSD option, but the low miles and the newer "than expecting" C63 we took a look at didn't have the Limited slip option. Well after doing several burn-outs, I'm not too worried about the whole LSD thing anymore, as both wheels have spun equally every time so far, so no big deal?

Do any of your non lsd cars ever burn just one tire, or am I just lucky, or the dealer wasn't aware of the LSD option when they where selling my car??

If there was an LSD option, trust me, they would know, and would make sure to charge you for it. I wouldn't ever consider buying a C63 without the LSD, to each his own. Maybe try the quaff LSD if youre into aftermarket? Enjoy the new beast and welcome to the community! You will absolutely ENJOY everytime you step into that amazing bolster seat

My non LSD spins both from a dead stop. it's once you turn you get the one wheel peels.

I'm glad you're enjoying the C63.

The main benefit of a LSD is not to help you do burnouts; it's to put down power exiting corners. Spinning the inside rear tire (or having ESP slow things right down) trying to dig out of tight corners was the thing that really annoyed me about not having the LSD.

Installing a Wavetrac LSD has made me fall in love with my C63 again. Now I can get the rear end sideways under power coming out of corners with BOTH wheels spinning. This is really pretty fun.

I'm not into it for the burn-outs man, I'm into not being embarrassed at a drag strip with only one tire going up in smoke every start, and I'm now confident that it won't. I'd take a 350hp car of a given weight with two wheel drive over a 600+hp car of the same given weight with one wheel drive any day of the week in any standing start situation under a half mile.

Try and do a powerslide....

If you do a long big smokey drift....then you have LSD....

If you do a 1 wheel peel.....then that's the deal you couldn't pass up
