2006 S55 will not spin the tires!!!
I took my s55 for a drive today and from a complete stop without traction control and with traction control I get the same results, it will not spin the tires! I've tried it in drive sport and in 1st manual! I've done ecu reset and still same result! I floor it and it doesn't rev, it just pulls off sluggishly. Don't know how long it's been that way but before I could smokem pretty good! What could this be?

Sounds to me like no power from the supercharger, so it's acting like a basic V8. I'd start with the supercharger clutch, since that's a known item.

Depending upon the mileage of the car, the transmission fluid should be changed; not simply topped off. Consider this an every 5 year, 50k mile service, more frequently if you drive it hard (which, if you're TRYING to spin the tires, I suspect you do).
Or, you can take it to an experienced indy and let them deal smartly with it.
