See, that was my point. The dreaded hearsay. There's nothing in a regular service for a Ferrari that is all that unusual. Some have cam belts that need to be changed periodically, as opposed to those that have chains, but that isn't unique to Ferrari. My 928 has the same thing, as do half of my BMWs, all my Audis, etc. Most older Ferraris require valve adjustments. So do all of my 911s, my 930s, 914s, BMWs, etc. You get the point.
Some parts are expensive, but then, so are many Porsche parts. BMW parts used to be cheaper but not any more...ditto Audi. The labor rate on a Ferrari can be a little higher but that isn't necessarily the case.
SO, having owned many examples of both, and a buttload of other cars, let me say that these generalizations are just that. Not worth much.
Carry on,
