Hello all, I am new here. Just picked up a brand new C350. I have been driving a 97mustang for 11 years so this is a BIG upgrade. I feel like I am driving around in a big toy, with all the gadgets and whatnot. Still can't figure out how to program the phone book but that's for another post.

Anyway, I read in Motortrend that the best 0-60 time for my model was achieved with the traction control off. I don't see any traction control off switch. There is an ESP off switch, but no traction control. Is there such a thing on my car is the traction control undefeatable. Sometimes I just want to peel out a little and slide around - after all, I am used to driving around a mustang. If anyone knows of this, please let me know. If not, I guess I am just going to have to grow up. Thanks!

 

The ESP! Button is the traction control. On my C and E CLass when turned off it will still kick in. To turn off the ESP(Traction control) just hit the button. I dont know if on the new models weather or not it will turn off completley.
