so you think the SVX is expensive to maintain?
just read an article about the Ferrari Enzo.....the oil is $60/quart and brake pads are $6000 (yes, six thousand dollars!)
don't forget the insurance money, either.

Yeah, I read the same article, first thought that came to mind was people muttering about $300 rotors. Burning up $30k in brake parts with less then 1500 miles on the car...OUCH!

the Enzo is a special, low-production super car, like the F40 and F50. unless i hit the Lotto big-time, there's no way i'd ever be able to afford an Enzo in 25 years.

There's a guy here with a "classic" 1981 Ferrari 512 BB. He keeps it in mint shape considering he races it on a road course near here. I may see it tomorrow. I may even get a picture or 2.

I don't think it's that bad, except for the windshield.
