Wheel spin skid from stationary/off the line
Hi
I am having some frustration with my C63 W204, a few months ago I reset the driver profile TCU, after a few weeks of aggressive driving I managed to be able to put my foot down, to the floor from memory, and the car would make that beautiful loud noise from the exhaust as well as wheelspin/skid/slide off. It was great fun at lights, or slow moving traffic. Also when parked up flooring it from the side of the road was entertaining.
I was away for a month during the beginning of covid, and it was sat doing nothng. When I came back I noticed it no longer wanted to behave in the manner I wanted it to.
I did the MSL remap shortly after and still no luck, so I decided to reset the TCU again. I am noticing when flooring it from stationary it will hit maybe 4k revs, then drop down before going back up, removing any chance of that wheelspin skid take off.
I know it took a while for the driver profile to adjust after I reset it first time, so maybe it will come back in time. I am away again until next week, so unable to thrash it daily to try and bring some life back into it.
Also maybe the MSL remap is going to affect it possibly?
Maybe I am putting my foot down all the way, when it should be just below touching the floor.
Sorry If i sound like a loon, but I am sure owners will understand me and my frustration of not being able to cause a nuisance

Sport+ doesn't change traction control are you putting traction control in sport or turning it off, the RPM dip sounds like traction control kicking in.

it got warmer now you have better traction. what is MSL? resetting the transmission control module is pointless. It will always adapt to the same values that it had previously once driven enough.
