OH MY GOD! Did I just join the JDM forum?
A while back some idiot posted pics of his car after a night of drifting. I was laughing but wanted to inflict bodily harm due to the damage that his car suffered. If you want to drift- go buy a Supra, RX-7 or AE-86 Corolla and leave the Mercedes alone.

not just the c63 was drifting...

the non-AMGs in the back are drifting too!

that pretty much gives us the green light to drift with our cars.

Eps will not allow it. You maybe able to get the tail out slightly but that's about it. I hope to god there won't be another fast and stupid movie. Sigh

Put it in dyno mode. And there is another Fast and the furious movie coming out later this year. With all the same actors from the very original one (including vin diesel )

Too be fair we have great cars but they're not S-classes....they've got enough power and weak enough handling that there's nothing wrong with kicking the back end out a bit around the corners.

2009 C300 4matic
Dyno Mode? I must search how to enable this.... I'm 31 and I'm married and I'll drift if I want too, especially since I can now afford the tires! Although it's not a great car to drift in, drifting in a C300 4matic is just funny, because I grew up thinking only stuffy folks drove Mercs - kinda ironic that an immature guy like me bought my wife a Merc and then I steal it at night to drift it for jokes.

While I imagine it'd be fun, my wife would probably serve me up some divorce papers if I tried it in her new car.
If I could find a big enough parking lot and if it snowed here, I might go do a few donuts...
