Until a few weeks ago i never heard of this car, i'm kinda lame when it comes to knowing all the cars etc.

Anyways we took it and an Enzo on the freeway and raced and then switched drivers to be fair at all speeds with the Enzo in race mode and the DTM in sissy mode, across the board at all speeds up to 135(too much traffic) the dtm was AWALYS faster, the next weekend we used a different Enzo and had the same results, MY God what a car, its like a mini-Veyron, i want one so bad I cant stand it, but I'm going to get another Enzo for a daily driver, I cant sat enough good things about the DTM.

Enzo as a daily driver FTW!!! Rep for you. Oh and those DTMs are so cool. They are rare, but you can see them quite often on the Nürburgring. That does say a lot.

It's not surprising since the DTM is pushing the same power as the Enzo and is slightly lighter I believe.

Its basically the same engine as the E/CL/SL but with modified Supercharger, larger throttle body, altered intercooler, revised tranmission (stronger and faster shifts), bigger pulley for more boost.. They are rated at 620hp but I think they are pushing a bit more since MB is generally conservative with their numbers.

Its a great car for sure!

I think ENZO is not good for DD. IMO the best DD super car is carrera GT or at the price Veyron would be more comfortable. Also it's chance to have both of them rather than have 2 of the same car

Shouldn't be a problem for Eric, I believe at one time he owned the only 3 Diablo GTRs in the US.
