Mercedes Drift Car

[Pieman3]

Hi there,

I am writing a Drifting feature for Mercedes Enthusiast magazine and would like to tap into your expertise please - I will of course include an acknowledgement for this forum in the feature.


I'd like your opinion on how you would set up any of the following for a drifting beginner and which two or three essential initial modifications you would recommend...



Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 or 2.6 manual (W201)

Mercedes-Benz C230K manual (W202)

Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG (W208)



Any comments gratefully accepted - I do hope you can help!


Many thanks,

You might struggle properly drifting a CLK55 AMG, it only came with the 5 speed autobox...

W123 Estate make a good drift car, there is a diesel one in Holland or Germany running, though I have no links to it.
Long wheel base would be more suitable?
