    Long answer short: no.

    Find a ragged out C280 with the straight 6. Or a C280 straight 6 with a dead engine, and drop in the 3.2l engine from the 94-96 E320. You can beat on it all day long.

    get something else if you really want to drift rihgt out. like an e30 or something with a powerful engine.

    unless you want to spend a fortune on the w202 then yes it is possible.

    No. Don't even bother, especially on a stock 220 diesel.

    Hajde Kuksi, jam nga Fieri vet. With my I6 c280 if there is a slight drizzle on the ground the car will slide if I'm not careful with her

    you can race anything!!
    you'll have fun so why not, no you wont be the fastest, who care's

    but like someone else said, a c280 with a 3.2 swap would be great

    A 230K or a 280 would be better suited. The extra power and torque would make it much easier. Here is what I would do. Get a C230k or a C280 that's rough. Throw some crappy tires on it, lower and the stiffen the suspension, weld the diff and toss out the interior bits to lighten the car. Tada you have a mercedes drift missile that you can beat on all day long. You will be in for minimal investment and it should be lots of fun. And yes you can drift W202s.

    I've never had that happen to me before and I have accidentally banged the redline when manual shifting the auto.

    Idk what my cars problem is then, it will hit off the limiter once then if I don't shift that moment it will cut it, maybe its too long to hold it?
