Driving the E55 today.

Today I decided to take the day off, and just kinda relax at home, just basically work out of my cell phone. But anyway the E55 drives great, I put about 50 miles on it today, just driving it around town. I really want to get that 1K miles so I can start really driving this world class automobile. This guy in a Cobra wanted to race today, and once again I just told him that I was breaking it in still, and he was pretty understanding. I had the car going about 80 MPH on the freeway, I wanted to go fast but all you guys tell me not to take it above 85 and 4500 RPM. So I took it up to 80 really slowly. But its so hard to, I mean the car is constantly saying to me Go Faster Go Faster, and I know I cant so I live with it. Tell me guys, if you turn off the ESP and push down on the accelerator all the way will the car just sit there and spin or will it shread a little rubber then start moving? I'm dieing to try it out. Thanks a lot guys.

Sounds like a very good day AMG1 Fortunately for me, mine will be broken in in the first two days. The drive home will be difficult and fun all at the same time. Scheduled limo tinting for Monday when I take it in for the 1-3k check up.
