Noob question; non-squealing of tires; rear-end shook
Ok, guys. Put on your "patience-with-the-new-guy" cap for this one. I am brand new to the C63 W204. Wanted to experience "peel out" of my tires this morning. Found a patch of non-busy road; stopped; ESP off, S+ Mode: punched it, and I THINK the tires squealed, but I didn't hear that screeching sound nor see smoke; rather, the rear end shook like it was falling apart. Is this normal for the first phase of the deed? (I let up about 2 seconds into it). Was I doing something wrong? I am stock, but should have plenty of power for the basic act of peeling out, but don't think I did it correctly. Still figuring out the characteristics of the car.
Appreciate any thoughts you could share.
Thanks
Kris

Wheel hop. No tire is going to grab under those conditions.

Nope, you're good... Typical wheel hop... Happens in pretty much any RWD car. However, if smoke is what you're after, those tires are gonna have to get nice and toasty before they start creating smoke. A simple 'mash of the gas' isn't really going to produce much lol
