My car definitely needs a limited slip. Being more front heavy than a W124 it will easily spin the inside rear wheel on a tight second gear corner. I would hate to see what it's like in snow! The couple of times I drag raced it yielded about 17 flat at 86. The high MPH for that ET indicates the poor starting traction and 2.5 second 60' times - really BAD! Improved traction from a limited slip should yield low sixteens and low 2 second 60' times. For comparison, my '91 MR2 runs 16.7 @ 82 with a 2.2 60' time using a 2000 RPM clutch drop and it has goobs of traction. A 2000 rev clutch drop on the 190 just lit up the RR tire. I had to just drive it off the line like a normal street start and then floor it.

Based on my evaluation from ten years ago it appear that the limited slip diff from the 16V is the same housing and will integrate right in including the ABS sensor, driveshaft and axle shafts. The US 16V models have a 3.27:1 ratio, 3.07 on Gray market Euro models.

Never got around to doing the job - too many other projects, and I don't drive my 190 that much anymore.
