If the numbers on Wikipedia are true, not many people are. 1200 on average, with a high of 1700 the first year. Part of that is Nissan intentionally limiting production, but that's still not a big market.

It's better than the new NSX though :lol:
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

[quote=""Jeff V.""]I'd wait on the C8 at a minimum. Hopefully we'll hear something in January.

Another thing to consider is access to tools and information. Having the tranny software is a great start, but how about service procedures and special tools?

Ferraris are also hyper-sensitive to resale value. For a car that costs this much and actually has a chance of appreciating, this is worth considering. As soon as some Ferrari snob hears you actually dared to put your own hands inside of The Masterpiece, as opposed to trusting to to the Anointed (and overpriced) Chosen of Maranello, it could potentially hurt your resale.[/quote]

This x everything. Not having factory or reputable Indy records will easily tank the value 15-20%.

Otherwise they're not terribly difficult to work on now so if you do get a higher mileage one or one that doesn't have complete records you should do alright
