E55 AMG
ESP Light comes on at 100mph

Is this normal. A wettish night, but not raining. Floored AMG from 50mph, at 100mph ESP light was still flashing. Road was slighly bumpy. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong with my car that there is no traction. No mods present on my car. BS S03 on the rear.

I timed 0-60. It took 8 sec, again lack of traction. ESP on both times.

I've had it flash at 80-85 when its wet, although I don't usually travel that fast in slippery conditions.

ESP flashing means wheel spin, I can easily do a 0-60 in 10 seconds with enough smoke to choke a thousand people. Sounds like your car is OK, it may be a modulation problem with your gas pedal.

I had it go off at 100 mph at e-town on a cold, cold day when I was one of the first guys down the track. Not a pleasant experience.

E55 AMG
Thanks for the response. Thank got it was'nt just me. I have bought 4 new PS2's xtra load so hopefully this will improve traction. E55 is a beast. It would eat my 997s down the straight for sure.
