Best Ferrari Forum? (Reading Up On 400i)

What's the best, most PP-like, forum for Ferraris?

I want to learn more about a car I lusted after in the early 80s - the Ferrari 400i (the 2+2, not the 400 SA). I recently noticed that they are relatively affordable now as exotics go - $20-40K - and since I've been musing about getting a sedan-ish vehicle I want to figure out if they're suitable. Basically, I'd use it for 1+ hour work trips in traffic a couple times a week, and for weekend trips with the family when the luggage won't fit in the 911 but doesn't require the SUV.

Not to whiz on your parade, but "affordable" is a very relative term w/ regards to Ferraris; ie. the purchase price of a used one is more like a "down payment". When you figure in cost per mile, you could probably lease a new $80k car for a lot less.

Speeder, good warning! Still, I'm intrigued. Probably something that is a couple years away for me, though.
