after looking at this post, I asked a few guys that I worked with how much it costs to maintain their exotics, a couple 911's, a 360, a 430 and a Gallardo. With the exception of the 911, they all say roughly $8-10K a year with the way they drive them. So although we may be able to get a 355 for $70K, after just three years of weekend driving, that's $100K?
How much was that GTR and ZR1 after mark up again?

No one has mentioned the 456, which in some cases can be bought for $60k. I still think it is one of the best Ferrari designs, has a big powerful V-12, and flies under the radar, because it is not as loud as some of the other Ferrari's.

Lotus Elise? Exige? Exige 'S'?
Maintenance? Its got the Celica GTS engine and 6 gear manual transmission. I do my own oil changes and brake work. Owners who do bring it into the dealer for easy work like this complain about the cost of maintenance but I guarantee it does not come close to a Ferrari's costs.

Knew someone many years ago that had a very good Testarossa kit on a Pontiac Fiero including the interior all the way down to the VDO gauges. He got plenty of action from the ladies so the point is, if you have a Ferrari, you do not need performance so who cares if another car is faster. That is only for the forum stat boys-at home, typing away on the internet while a Ferrari owner is having a great time in his Fiero. He still had the V6 and the car was heavy so looks had to go a long ways for the car- himself also.
