Right, Staying with the older style clutch and 6 speed makes it less prone to the problems associated with the F1 style shifter, clutch and sensors etc. With that being said, the motor must be removed to do a lot of service! I have a good friend that works as a service writer at an high end service garage. Dedicated and factory trained Lambo and Ferrari techs. He has guys always asking him if they know of anybody that wants to buy 308, 328, 348 and 355's AFTER they have had service work done, (mostly clutches) and the bill comes in at 8-10k! The low cost of entry, (nice examples of the models listed above can be had for around $50k), are very attractive to a person looking at new Corvette's etc. The owners crap when they have to pick the car up or stop in to get an estimate! Neat cars, but don't kid yourself, One has to pay to play! On the other hand, I have a friend that just bought an 2003 911 Carrera with 21k on the odo for $38k. Those are pretty bullet proof vehicles.
