Zrusny, I just run standard fluid and pads. I didnt get brake fade entirely, just felt them go off. The car is my daily driver and I have a 200bhp Lotus Elise for track work, so there seemed little point in thrashing the Merc. It was just an experiment to see how conrollable the 500 is when it oversteers.

Subman, on the straights it was spinning the left hand rear yes. In some on the photos though the car is fairly sideways, and it'd be lighting the tyres up with or without an LSD ;-)
