Only partially true on the mileage thing....theres a great deal of Ferrari owners that just simply enjoying having them and looking at them...and like having them as part of their "collection".
Then you have a another group that has a garage full of exotics and can only put so many miles on each car each year because that mileage is spread out over multiple vehicles....not because they are afraid to drive them.
Ferrari's hold there value better than any other modern day vehicle....by quite a margin.
It seems we are all in agreement that undoubtedly the Porsche comes with a much lower maintenance cost and higher reliability.
Jasper brings up a great point in regards to the GT versions and 918....if they price and position this car correctly it will definitely be a home run.

BUT... A same year 2001 comparison of the Modena to Porsche Turbo, with 15,000 miles is 144 to 75, -48% and 110 to 37, -66%. This illustrates the hit the 966 turbo had relative to any recent 911. Most would argue that it's pre993 chain drive block is a mechanically incredible car, but value is hit for aesthetics over substance. (Great buy for performance and reliability). Despite the Modena not being considered a aesthetically undesirable car, nominally, you would have lost the same with either, around $70M.
Is that what you were asking?

Must be a trick question as there wasn't a 2000 911 Turbo...

But, yes - that was the gist.
Statistics, right?
There is always a figure supporting your claims...

[QUOTE=Zeus;3681067]I would love to see a car slotted between the GT2RS and the 918, but...
And why would anyone buy a 918 at nearly 3 times the price? They kinda look the same too...and for a half-million after some nice options...does it really look like a half-million dollar car?
Why? Because you can! And you would be the only kid on your block.
