Dyno Mode for the first time
Finally put my car in dyno mode today and did some CRAZY burnouts!!! Car is like a whole different animal!! All I can say is wow!!! Have been reading about it for like a month now and wondering why I didn't do this sooner, guess I'll be putting those new tires on sooner than I thought

I used to hate ESP on Mercs before I bought one because of Top Gear and what not always saying it cuts out the fun and what not but thank God it's there. I do alot of track days (not in the 55 
) so I have learnt a few tricks throughout the years and without sounding up myself I'm a fairly good driver but on the street, I want ESP 110%, it helps alot with DD'ing and especially with a car with this much torque. Would be fun to try it though, it cuts out ABS as well though...

Yes, I was 8-9. But I have seen this car on a very frequent basis since my father drove it home from Pennsylvania(off the boat from Germany). I know it hasn't seen dyno mode, because my dad found out about if from me last year, and he said 'it sounds like a good way to get killed by a Mercedes' (word for word). and me and my mom (parents are separated) have had the car since 2008. And im almost positive my mom hasnt used dyno mode...

Yeah man it was a blast, had me grinnin ear to ear!! Always felt cheated before even with just esp off and computer would still cut me short. Something about the burnout that makes you feel alive!! BTW thinking about picking up some used under 2000 miles MBH headers/cats/mids/TTM 550 injectors and fuel rail for 3K, good deal? They will go along with my already ordered 172mm pulley and EC H/E and tune. What do you think?

Ditto here - I've never gone into dyno mode myself. I HAVE almost killed myself once when I forgot I had ESP off throttling around a curve and that big butt started coming around on me. It comes around fast...and then back in the other direction...and then back in the other direction..and then... Phew. I suppose I'm one of the folks that has gotten used to and dependent on the brains of our beasts to make up for those I lack.....

I hardly take ESP off and never do dnyo mode as I can spin the tires with ESP ON. 700 ft/lb actually overides ESP for a moment in my car. And per my video below, teh beast can keep ESP flashing through 70 MPH. 
If I ever did dyno mode I'd probablly immediately wipe out.
Come to think of it though, it might be useful for driving an E55?

Anyone ever try dyno mode at the drag strip with a set of slicks to get a better 60'. Curious if it makes any difference as compared to slicks and running with traction control turned off. Would certainly become more of a driver's car if anything at that point.
