There was a guy at Fchat that had CLK DTM and an Enzo, and he prefered the Benz.

A 599 will smoke a CLK DTM cabrio.

Hard to believe a coupe "walks away" from an enzo.

I can only go from what I get from my source who has made multiple runs with both cars. Owning both has allowed him multiple opportunities to do so. And that Cab has an exponential amount more drag than the coupe, not to mention weight.

Not sure if you responding to my post, but I in no way think the BS is in the same league as the DTM. That being said i don't feel for the price, the car is up to par compared to many other cars (dtm lacks a lot of comfort features newer cars do) and unless you can afford to have it as a "collectors" item I just don't see the value.

Still consider it an amazing car overall though

This car does very little for me too. I do appreciate the rarity and it's capabilities but I'd rather park 300-400+K somewhere else.
