NJ CLK55 W209 owners?

Looking for NJ W209 CLK55 owners who have had problems with their cars. Particulary with rotors and the lack of an LSD causing the car to cut power while making turns.

Many thanks for your help

Is the car cutting power on corners because of ESP?

ESP will always cut power on me if I am speeding out of the corner. When I turn ESP off, it hardly ever does it. Remember, that even with ESP off, it still will engage if things get too wild. Just not as intrusive.
