Default only one of my tires spin when i burn out my 1988 300 E

when i take off too fast only one of the back tires spin. not both. is that how the car is made or is something messed up? because even when i try to burn out only one of the back tires spins.
i have a 1988 300E and i realy need some help with this one becasue my repair book says nothing about this.

well here is a little help i am only 14 years old but i guess ill tell you what i know get further help this could be a problem with your diferenshell try lifting the back of the car make sure its stable and engauge gear 1 and increes idle speed as you let go of the cluch now borth wheels should spin quite equaly the two wheels should be off the ground have two blocks in front of the front wheels i am guessing its not a 4 wheel drive like the audi quatro system in that case this wont work proceed if your car is only rear wheel drive if borth wheels turn then its ok if not have it checked it wont say any thing about a burn out in a repair manual becouse its kinda a stunt thing i guess any one else think this insructions are incorect please post it up and check with a michanic before you do this hope this helps abit

its not unusual or wrong to do a burnout with a classic benz or for that matter take off fast but i think if its a diferenshell problem like i told you should take sereous thought to the problem not only for burn outs but to prevent damage and having your car proper this might afect your car as you traval on rough roads and if your opersite wheel gets stuck in mud fals in a hole it will not come out and your engine might die if you accelerate then it might afect cluch and compression and force that wheel to turn and grind the rubber insted of turning the other wheel and yanking the car out of the mud or hole ect.. and might also afect conering at sharp speeds and afect on a wet road get it fixed it might afect the other wheel too

ps sorry for spelling or bad advice

well its an automatic and its got no first. and my burn outs 98 % of the time are accedental. and im a 17 year old dude and this is my first car so what can i say its just how it is. and the reason i posted this bulletin is because winter is coming and having this problem wont be good in icy snowy weather. its bad in rain as it is. and that 14 year old kid... what would i be looking for in jacking up the back and accelerating? wouldnt i have to spar paint a line on both back tires to see if they are turning together? and if the is ssomething wrong with the diferenshell how would i fix it?
