How much is a Ferrari clutch job at an authorized Ferrari dealer ? How about Porsche 911 or Lambo ... ?
Lower cost isn't the same as low cost. It is just lower than other cars in its class.
Also,
a dealer may charges this much but others may charge more or less. I don't know the details, but I am sure that cost of maintenance/repair an Acura NSX is lower than Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Lotus ... Also, NSX is more reliable than other makers therefore the total repair over 5 or 10 years should be much lower.

I was quoted by Ferrari of Seattle yesterday: "$9,000.00 + Tax. (($3K is labor, $6K in parts)). The quote does not include flywheel which is an additional $1,700.00 if needed."
So we are looking at around $12,000.00 including tax.

I said "a dealer may charges this much but others may charge more or less"
2 Ferrari 360 owners had 2 quotes: $9,000 plus tax vs $3,930 tax included. One dealer is more than double the other, in this case an independent shop specialized in Italian cars. If you searching "Ferrari clutch job" you will find huge price different between dealers for the same job of the same car.
Similar to Acura dealers, one dealer may rape you while the other may be reasonable.
