Is raining pretty hard here in Indiana, I just took my C230 6spd sedan out into a empty parking lot and start drifting around in 2nd gear (ESP OFF).....Boy was it fun~~ Give some gas while turning (Enough gas to break loose these OEM Mechilin Pilot sport is quite difficult (thats a good thing btw)

Once the rear break lose, the fun begins~ :p I'll try to get a friend to go with me next time and see if I can make a short video out of it......This is my first RWD car, so I'm just toying with it

Also training for winter when snow start to fall of course~

Drifting is fun...especially in the non-plowed hugh parking lots!!! And I didn't have ESP or ASR in my '94 w202 to stop me

Have fun! Gotta see what my quattro (broken loose a few times in wet weather already :p) can do in the snow now, hehe

drifting is great...i agree...however the freaking parking brake on our cars is the foot kind not the handbrake...would make things much more fun if we had a hand brake

didn't ESP still catch you even w/ it dissabled? I noticed that on my car it still kicks in a tad... we're you in Dyno mode maybe?

and oh guys, dont worry, i'll be doing some drifting fun soon and WILL post videos.. i always do.. ;-)

Once, I turn off the ESP, the orange triangle light appears on the dash. While I was "Drifting" I just notice it blinking, but it didn't put brakes on my wheels, or cut my fuel. (as it would if ESP was on)


I'm not aware there's a Dyno mode.....whats that? :p ........somebody juse tell me.....I don't wanna search~ :v


I'll be checking the weather, and hope it rains again real soon.......I'll bring my Canon S410 with me to shoot some "OK resolution" videos. I don't have a camcordoer

Advice: if the coming winter is going to be your first with this car (and you haven't done so already) - get a set of snow tires, as any Z-rated hi-performance tires are absolutely worthless in the snow. Better yet - get a second set of rims and mount the snows on them permanently. That would be a very wise investment in your own (and others') safety.

yea, but if he's from CA or a state where it doesn't snow, Snow tires would be useless..
