Default How not to do a burnout

https://www.caradvice.com.au/917469/...-catches-fire/

Habibi too stupid to realize that burnouts don't work when you have traction control on. Keeps trying and fries the engine/auto, setting it on fire

Police see the footage and charge him with dangerous driving. Insurance probably void.

Notice he didn't actually get charged with doing a burnout

I'm not surprised it wouldn't do a burnout...

Wow! Looks like he's had it for at least 8 months and hasn't managed to work out how to disable traction control.

So he won it with those sh*tty wheels installed.

Can't find it on carsales anymore, but apparently he had it listed for $150k. Bet he wishes his ask was a bit less than that now.

The drivers name is Jean-Pierre Mouawad, French origin.

But don't let that stop you from calling him a Habibi, Lebo, Muslims, etc.

The driver is still a first grade f***wit though!

LMCT+ has nothing to do with the idiot drivers actions. That's like someone blaming Tatt's Lotto for busting up their brand new Mercedes they bought after winning the lotto.

It's not a DCT. It's a traditional auto, but it differs in that it uses a wet clutch for take off.

Could very well be that clutch exploding though.

This article explains how they work. But the 7 speed has been replaced by the 9 speed now.

Probably one of those charity scams, where the winner is always someone the organiser knows and the donated money never ends up where its supposed to.


But "Trans fluid for $100 please Alex."

Yes it was a LMCTPLUS prize. Those guys are 100% legit. I rang the charity to make sure when I entered. They do a lot of good work for the charity apparently.

They organiser even joked about including a fire extinguisher in the next prize, which happens to be another amg c63

Also the bloke who wrecked the car is blaming a fault in the car, so mercs have to now investigate

Disagree with the title of the thread the 'burn out' was perfectly executed.

I realise that the owner is an absolute tool & it was his fault entirely, but you would've thought that the M/Benz could take more than that before it caved in.

It looked to be a bit more than an overheated transmission from the amount of smoke bellowing from the exhaust.

I believe those cars have electronics that prevent it from doing what he was trying to do.. hence what happened.
