Any suggestions for a vehicle/character combo, then? I've tried Manual Drift with the Mach Bike and other high-Drift karts/bikes, but I can't control the drift at all. I'm thinking my best bet would be something with stats similar to that of R.O.B.'s or Luigi's karts in Mario Kart DS (~8 Speed, 5 Accel, 3 Drift), but I don't think there is such a kart.
