I don't see how it could be faster than an enzo....it weighs 700# more and has 80 less HP.

It is indeed a rarer breed, but it's still a CLK where an Enzo, well it's an Enzo.

It's a fantastic auto and I am happy for you. I'd love to own one!

perhaps it feels faster due to the torque and instant power of the twin screw. I doubt it will actually accelerate faster.

thanks man, I posted it already and then took it down. Don't like to have all my business out there all the time. My only other Benz for now is a Kleemann modified E55 wagon. No plans for the SLR. Not my style.

He pulls him hard in the straights doesn't he? Don't know why he let him pass though? Just spoke to a friend of one of the guys who owns a DTM and an Enzo (member of this board). Friend said that he was driving the DTM while the owner was driving the Enzo at the track (lapping stuff). Owner in Enzo couldn't shake friend in DTM, finally let DTM pass
