The easiest thing to do is sell your car to someone who actually knows what it is and can appreciate it, after that pickup the jankiest 240sx with dents and body damage allover. Add some cool plastic vents allover it and a cool spoiler, maybe a cool little tow hook, stance the hell out of it and then you will be ready for fun.

Let's look at what it is, it's the lowest tier Mercedes with a big lazy V8, backed by an automatic and an open diff, complemented by a Mary Poppins of an ESP system. That's more of a recipe for a pickup truck than a performance car. Benz did a few upgrades to the C-class, while competitors designed a new car around their base chassis. There's a reason it barely sold when new. What a steal in the used car market though and reliable to boot! I know exactly what I own and I promise I have a lot more fun in it than you! Cars are ruined a lot more by a janky body shop than driving them hard.

If you're doing all of that to a C55, you shouldn't bother getting it into stock form. Swap an M113k into it, get an LSD, upgrade to beefier sway bars.. etc. Make it into something far more badass than a typical C55, and after all that I guarantee you'll be doing donuts and drifts no problem and you'll have something people are really amazed by.
