Bailing on the c63
Anyone track their c63 and had to bail due to over-steer or worn down/balding tires that become greasy n lose grip at a high speed turn?

If so, how do you bail with the stock braking system?

I'm guessing you throw it in neutral and upshift to reduce RPM?

Just apply the brakes. The computer will do the rest.

What do you mean by "bail"?

Or - if you have room - lift off the brakes for a split second to give the front tires a chance to regain grip . . .

Would that not suggest the ABS is not working nor the ESP unless it was shut off?

Well, I am assuming that "bailing" would be beyond the point of no return.

Throttle into a power slide and ride it out like a boss.

Post of the day.

The image of a fist pumping out the window in victory seals the deal.
