[QUOTE="flyboy999, post: 138390, member: 2330"] Yep, you're right, I'm referring to the cars that cost less than $300K........... Currently the F430's (2005-2007) etc. are selling for a little more than you can buy a brand new Z06.........usually about $150K.........the same goes for good Gallardos in about the 2007-8 vintage.........That's why I said, "At what cost?" I can't afford a $300K 458 etc. so my point is that it costs about $180K more than an A8 equipped Z06 Vette to get an equivalently reliable transmission in a Ferrari......... is it worth it? Similarly, the ZR1's in Canada are selling for over $200K........ I think it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY that the new C8 will be sold for less (even in "base model" form). In fact, my guess (and yes it's just an educated guess), is that the upscale C8 (comparable to the Z06/ZR1) will sell for $20K-30K more than the current ZR1....at least.
