It sounds great. I'm surprised it doesn't burn out more though..

I think Mercedes use the rear brakes individually to keep traction in lieu of a LSD.

Few things that may be the reason imo:
I dont completely floor it until I hit 2nd (simply put: there is a "click" on the gas petal when you go past full throttle. If you push the petal all the way down but not to the click the car dosent put all the power down, you need to go through the click for the computer to tell the engine put down all the power... good old German enginers...)

I had ESP off, but traction control isnt completely off in reality (i could click on Dyno Mode to do that)

My rear T1Rs have literally 100 miles on them, so grip is as best as it will get

Sounds really good, even though youtube doesnt do the exhaust sound justice.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.
