My 300SD had no trouble drifting in the wet parking lot Sand and gravel work too, but I don't like the risk of scratching the paint.. Drifted it on a dry road once too

I feel the 123 car, did it better than either of the other two cars. Just my opinion of course. I don't know why...Maybe the other two, are a little bit Over-Engineered. A full sized, 80's, Olds Wagon will kick all of their a$$es though I know first hand, from experience. It's almost effortless, very fluid, and easy to handle ,in the fullsized G.M. Lotta fun, too.

The CL55 drifting is so minimal that it shouldn't even count as drifting, and trying to drift (with a G class nevermind ) on a public roadway while other cars are dangerously close is just plain stupid, perhaps criminal. Drifting should only be done on a closed racetrack. Although I'll admit that the w123 in the last video does a wonderful job.
