I think that's true for the older cars-- Dinos, 308s.  
I haven't seen any posts that describe the owner doing anything on a 360 beyond oil changes.

I have been on the Ferrarichat for may years and like this forum there are a lot of do it myself types that enjoy working on their cars. I would think just about any one on this forum that has worked on their Pcar would not find routine services on a 308-360 any more challenging be it parts are more expensive and creative solutions may be less successful.
