LOL...I can't believe you guys are discussing the handling limits of a W123. It's definitely not a sports car, it's a huge heavy brick with hardly any horsepower and a HEAVY engine over the front wheels. It's an understeering pig. I can't go more than about 10MPH at full lock without the car just going in a straight line lol.

My 560SEC on the other hand, handles quite well, but you have to be awake because it can oversteer very easily if you don't treat the throttle like it's made of glass.
