Weird Question
I recently purchased a 2011 Grand Sport M6, here's my question. I have a long driveway, it's gravel and I travel slowly in first gear right about 1000 rpms and it feels like the brakes keep applying and releasing repeatedly, anyone experience anything like this before? 66k miles, no lights on, previous owner just put new calipers, rotors, pads, tires and wheels. I don't notice anything abnormal on the road. Thoughts?

I'm thinking traction control, or possibly ABS if you have light pressure on the brakes when it occurs. If it never happens on smooth pavement. I can't think there is anything wrong with the vehicle. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

Foot not on brake, I was thinking the same lines ABS or Trac control, but no lights at all, odd. Haven't tried to see if it does it on pavement. My drive is actually fine asphalt millings, I wondered if the traction control on these are over sensitive and it thinks there's tire slippage.

also try a different a driving surface, other then your driveway but, similar in make-up.
see if you get the same issue. if it doesn't happen on smooth roadways, but only gravely ones, I wouldn't worry about.
that it unless you plan on doing the Baja 1000(?).

Played around a little today, does it on asphalt as well, also shoved the clutch in going down my drive and it seemed to quit, of course I was going slow and it slowed fairly quick but didn't feel like anything was grabbing like normal.
