Anyone slide/drift their W202 AMG?

Some friends were drifting their S13/14s, and I could not sit there and watch...


I pulled the traction control/ABS fuse and went for it....


Wicked fun. Tons of smoke, nice rubber patches.

Any of you ever try it?


Next step: LSD. Maybe weld the stock differential...

Never tried actual drifting in my C43 (I paid A LOT for my tires) but I power slide out of corners with ease with just the ESP "turned off" so there is no doubt in my mind that the C43 is capable of drifting

Here is vid where they gave the drfit king a C43:

Once by accident I did it out of a turn and then I was hooked. I regularly slid around town and in parking lots... But then my tires were gone within 6 months and I got to experince the blow to the wallet that is new tires, so I'm done with that haha
