reliability?  you must be kidding.  more reliable than previous ferraris,
sure.  

but the CFO at my last company had a 360 modena, and it never went more
than 2 weeks without needing to be fixed.  maybe you meant unmatched among
supercars for unreliability.  :)  and service needs are high.  somebody
with an F355 had to replace the timing chain and other valvetrain parts
because the timing was several degrees off at 8k miles.

i don't have that kind of time or patience, even if i had that kind of
money to spend on cars.  unless i'm paying somebody to do my chores and 
look after my cars, i'd rather buy a 911 GT2, which will be FAR more reliable.
