    Harry clearly and fully articulates the problem with (most) cars today, including most Ferraris.

    Always like Harry's content.

    Thanks, I follow his channel but missed this one which is as sharp as ever, delivered in his deceptive "ordinary grandpa" style.

    Watched it.
    He said the same exact things I have been saying re: the F40 F50 Enzo vs. 'Tech'

    We don't want nor need 'tech' because all it is is something to go wrong, and when it does it is a nightmare to fix.
    I've said for years if I ever won the Lottery the ONLY 'Supercar' car I would buy would be an F50 -
    the the looks, the motor, and an actual clutch.

    I think Ferrari is misjudging the market with the F80, BWDIK?
    You don't make a car without knowing the market, your customer base, do you?

    I will also admit I don't know enough about the specific Ferrari models as they pertain to each motor,
    but if I had a few million dollars to invest I'd be buying a bunch of 12 cyl models - if they don't take
    rebuilds to swap out timing belts.
    I think quite a few prefer the 12 cyl but don't want to deal with major engine maint schedules...(?)

    You can say the same old song and dance of 'if you can't afford the maint then you can't afford the car',
    but I don't think that's it at all, some folks that enjoy cars are not motorheads and simply don't want to
    deal with big maint issues, I know I don't, having to trailer it to a place 500 miles away for maint.
