C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

All depends on what Ferrari - some clutches are engine out of chassis. For those, be prepared to bend over and let a dealership have his way with you. Others are easier.

There is no question that operating costs of a Corvette will not approach those of a true exotic. And if you don't take your temperamental Italian mistress to a dealership or factory certified mechanic for service, you risk de-valuing your car. Plus, given the depreciation that comes with putting miles on a true exotic, many owners don't want to ever get the car to the point of needing a major service. Sad fact.

The Vette is a Chevy, OTOH, and will share many parts and service techniques/mechanics with other GM product. Which is fantastic since that makes it attainable for most of us who will only ever afford to look at a picture of a Lamborghini, Bugatti, or Ferrari anyway. Those cars are meant for people who don't really ever ask the cost of something. Still, it's nice that there are auto aficionados out there like that. The world would be a poorer place for not seeing the occasional prancing horse or charging bull speed past.
