Well, as most of us here know, flaming doesn't go very far around here anyways, no matter how "restrictive" it seems to make this forum, so lets try to not go down that bumpy road.
I believe g-man knows how it's supposed to react in just the ETS mode, he just can't believe it is apparently totally inoperative when pushed to it's limit, ie 2 opposing wheels with contact, 2 opposing wheels without contact, and has no stored trouble codes. He furthermore seems to think that reporting this problem will result in something terrible like the cancellation of his warranty or something. These vehicle are designed to operate under these conditions or they wouldn't be showing the general public these capablities. To enter one in an actual "race or sporting event" MAY repeat MAY affect the warranty, but not the actual act of just off-road driving.
I don't think the thread has started out childish. If it strays too far from the technical aspects of off-road driving, then it begins to cross a line with what I consider acceptable to this forum. Especially flaming, shouting, and the slinging of mud.
I don't think anyone here really thinks the ML is in the same class as a G wagen. No matter what you drive, someone can always build a better mousetrap (or modify the same mousetrap to exceed the capablities of a stock one), and it can get out of hand to start comparing the vehicles in this forum to another type of vehicle such as a Caterpillar. If I were going offroad, as far as the vehicles that are the topic of this forum, hands down I would pick neither the ML or the G, it would be a MOG!
