U-Turn Power Drop
Hello All,
New to the MB family...just got a 19 AMG GLC63. I did a U Turn yesterday and stepped on her a bit to beat the oncoming traffic (which was a good distance away, no safety issue) but when I goosed her she virtually had no power. I let off gas and then hit it again and it kicked in...thought that was very weird. Thoughts?

First thing I do when I start my GLC63 is to turn off traction control. The way it is tuned even in sports mode is just plain dangerous to drive with it in dry weather as you may expect power when you needed and not get it. Cruise control will not engage with traction control off, just FYI.

I think it also depends on your driving style. I ease my self out of the corners and never go full throttle until I am straight with all 4 wheels. I am also tuned with stage 2 from Eurocharged and yes power can be overwhelming with TC Off. The problem for me is in slow 90 Degrees or U turns even half throttle will engage the TC if it is on and kill my momentum and that is dangerous for me if there is incoming traffic.
