My Roadmaster was good like that too....1/2 throttle on a dry day and both rear tires would be up in smoke....heck, even that 4.9L deVille I had was good too, but it was FWD...I could get one tire to smoke through 1st gear if I got it at just the right spot.

With that '95 S500 I drove, I don't think that would get rubber from a stop...just not enough low end power, but the power from a roll was quite substantial.

Even though my car has the AMG package, I personally dont think my 600 would look cool doing a burnout, but to set the cruise control at 160mph is what she was made for....feels like shes doing 30mph at that speed...all solid...now THATS cool!

Cool

Uhhh...yepper, but I'll reiterate because this fits with ALL of us 140 owners...

ohh yesss....3am...a deserted shopping mall parking lot...no Gin in the system for fear of law enforcement encroachment and abuse...mid winter with a yummie coating of ice/snow...turn off the traction control and FUCKING FLOOR IT!!! turn the wheel and we are on an amuzment ride! HAHA!

Just plain fun blokes, and no adverse effects on said auto....enjoy!
