This just shows how out of touch you are with reality. For a 360, the cost of a 30k service is $4-5,000. It's certainly not cheap, but about 1/3 of what you think it is. On a 430 it's even cheaper as they changed the main part of the big service from the 360 (replacing and adjusting timing belts, on the 430 they're now chains).

Superior how? Being a cheaper car to run? No one is denying that. But by the same logic, a Toyota is a superior car to a Porsche.
Porsches are great cars. No one is denying that. But they're hardly the be and end all of motoring. And considering the fact that the purchase price of a 430 Spider is well north of $250k, I don't think most buyers worry too much about a $5k major service every three years.
To each his own. I'd rather have a Ferrari 360 than a new Porsche Turbo. Even though they're comparable in price, but the Porsche is faster. Just like I'd rather have a 911S than a Z06.
