Burn out problem/drifting problem

I'm always trying to do a burn out with my e320, and i do get smoke and what not but one wheel stops spinng on the other one keeps spinning. how the hell do i stop this. Its Fing annoying. in the rain i gun it and the car starts spinning out then the rear end goes out stopping my fun. How can i fix this. I know it has something to do with the rear diff/ axel. How can i change it. and if i do how much is the damage

Yes, almost all Mercedes come with open differentials. If you want both to spin, you need LSD (Limited Slip Differential). It is also refered to as locked diff. or Posi.

Lol, come on, I know you're 17 and you want to have fun (i'm 17 too) but mercedes aren't the cars to do it in. Just make it look nice and that is what sets them apart from other cars (H)

i too was once 17... but isn’t going fast, really the thing.??

why have a slip sliding, tire burn’n rear end.??

unless of course drifting or burn-out competitions were your thing… if so, why MB.??

i watched a video that someone had posted a while back on here… where an E55 totally smokes a ‘03 SVT Mustang Cobra… i mean just east’s him…

the Cobra was doing an awesome burnout and all... and being 17 once i was really liking it… he was really light’n it up… and then backs right up over the burnout… back to the start line… (i was impressed, since i‘m a long time mustang fan and enjoy laying down the rubber)… all the while, the E55 is just sitting there idling at the starting line… the two are finally matched up and the revs start to roar… the signal is giving to go… and as the Cobra is smoking it off the line… i look to the E55... And obviously the traction control grips like right now and the car rockets away… and i mean rockets… unbelievable..!!

i instantly became a MB fan and purchased my E320 a short time later… maybe i’m getting older now but i still like a car that’s fun to drive and knows a thing or two about luxury.

well i'm 17, i get all the girls, and i love my benz. I already have a few mods instaled and on the way. I already stand out because of the car. But i want more. I want even more. Performance before looks. Thats the way to go. anyway back to the topic at hand i'm screwed. no 2 wheel burnouts. just pathatic 1 wheel burnouts. O well better then having a pinto.
