[DeTomaso] Ferrari 360 maintenance costs-- NPC

[LS]

360s are well built. I have many friends with them and they don't require anywhere near this amount of maintenance.

Belts are every 5 yrs and the service is fairly straightforwards...$3k to do.

Some of the other items listed are worst case scenario. I have two friends that have put 30k on F1 clutches and they are fine. There may be a few sporadic issues but nothing near $60k for 15k miles.

The 355 on the other hand could be a mess!

We do not have to be to scared of working at Ferraris, we changed a clutch
here last summer without problem. If I had a 360 I would have put a Hemi
in it anyway, to make the car move. How about that statement?
