"They don't" and "different" are mutually exclusive.

Regardless, feel free to explain how the engineering R&D of the racing programs of Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. that then gets applied to production cars is different from Ferrari's operation?

No you didn't. You haven't said ANYTHING of substance to support your delusion that Ferraris are "engineering marvels". Show me ANYWHERE on the net that says Ferraris are not riddled with maintenance issues and are stupidly expensive to own.

Show me ANYTHING that contradicts what I've said. All you have posted is your opinion.

Yes I have. Pretty sweet I must say. Nearly every major manufacturer can say the same thing about technology licenses. So what.

And apparently there is a need to say, once again, I have never dissed Ferrari's performance engineering in ANY of my posts.

You do realize that the "newest" Ford GT is a 2006 model right?

Feel free to explain where I have provided insufficient detail to support my position. I'm all ears.

I should not reiterate but I will. You have failed to respond specifically to a single question I have posted. You have not rebutted a single point of mine with, as I said before, anything other than an opinion.

No, it's not an "alleged" bitch, it's a bonafide bitch. Why do you think the, "if you have to ask how much the maintenance costs...", joke is repeated about a zillion times in every Ferrari owner's forum?
