Well, I typically buy/sell exotics to drive.
I've had a BMW 840Ci, M3 and M5, Jag XKR, Vette Z06 (not really an exotic though) and a New Maserati, just to name a few. Never owned more than one at a time, but rotated thru them.
The Countach was a childhood dream and was worth every dime.

I decided a nice house was more important, so I turned in the X-Type Jag (is AWD) and the M3 for the SVX and a house.

The SVX does everyone I need (AWD, decent low-end Torque, Nice Interior, and if someone hits it around here, won't take a year to fix. Also, anything over 90mph is VA, is jail. I've already got too many friends there (its a wkend).
Till I move or get married, this is it...

BTW,
The clutch replacment, requires pulling the Engine, Tranny, and Rear...as their own bolted together as 1 piece is about $12,000. I worked on the car myself, but didn't wanna pull its entire driveline.

Also, you can't compare the SVX to the Countach unless you've owned both... its just silly.
