Ahhh very interesting! I had fun reading up about the Spyder and was lamenting about the F1 style gearbox just from a personal preference standpoint, but I didn't think of reliability! Wow, very expensive indeed! Just out of curiosity, which of the aforementioned exotics are the most reliable based on your experience working at the dealer? VXD, don't forget to post some pics of the Spyder you're eying to buy!
