They’re dirt cheap to buy and even cheaper to maintain, especially if you don’t maintain them.

Also pays for itself eventually by loaning it out on Scorcese movies...

I don’t count the 507 because that isn’t a fair comparison for any car.

It’s true to the brand, whereas having your brand’s halo sportscar built by somebody else isn’t.

Nissan might see this car and think they will have the a huge advantage if their next Z had 400hp/400tq

That means it’s probably making 400ish HP at the crank.

What Honda demonstrated with the new NSX is a different concept in creating a performance car, utilizing electrification for performance rather than just meeting emissions regulations. Ferrari obviously liked what it sees, and thinks it can do better.

Except that you can buy almost 5 NSXs for the price of this car. Isn’t this new Ferrari just a cheaper rebooted LaFerrari?

Accidents don’t matter as much as you think.

That means that the beater car could get into 2 accidents before the insurance company would pay out money equivalent to the one accident of the high-tech car.

Yes, largely undeservedly but not entirely so I can still feel justified in doing so.

The potential payouts will be larger, and insurance companies will charge more because of that.

You can insure an old beater for far less than you can a new car, let alone one on the bleeding edge.

You know the future isn’t US driving

“That might mean, for example, tougher requirements for low-carbon fuels, looking at tighter health-protective regulations on California refineries, doubling down on our enforcement efforts on mobile and stationary sources — and might lead to an outright ban on internal combustion engines.”

I wonder if dealers know what to do with them, or are even stocking them.

Is twenty grand enough to sway the whims of someone seeking a six figure sports car? I’m inclined to believe it won’t

I price-shopped them for a friend nationally and the lowest I saw was 44 and change, you did well at 43. The most consistent cluster of them was around 46.

The red is pretty awesome:

Minor objection: don’t pay the stupid mark-up for the TRD Pro.
