Launch
What is the best way to launch this car from a standstill i feel like i can run with almost anything on the road nailing the gas while already moving. But i dont have that confidence from a standstill i feel like the esp cuts the power way to much and with it off i feel like theres way to much wheelspin. Would it be faster to just mash it with esp on or modulate with esp off?

I have a modified SL55 and with the esp off at launch I get a violent reaction like the rear suspension is trying to destroy itself and I continue to get wheel spin all the way through second gear. At least with the esp on I don't get the wheel spin only the orange triangle blinking.
Do a search on the E55 forum under launch or drag racing starts.
