Got video?
Sure it wasn't a valet driver???

But I will be interested to hear what the reviews say of the new air suspension to see if comes anywhere close to the amazing MB (ABC) system.

Hope it's more reliable than the MB ABC system...

Anybody else think that's a lot of body roll for such a small/easy burnout?

Not really. Doesn't look like a small easy burnout in the pic where it looks like it might flip. Looks like it was going fast, doing some drifting manuever and some furious counter-steering taking place.
