Gas cars vs hybrids — is the F430 heat a generation split?

After the F430 coupe jump, an open question: are enthusiasts still paying up for naturally aspirated and turbo gas cars over hybrids — and is that preference age-skewed?

Open question after the F430 print

Same day as the F430 coupe move (~+9% ~7d), the desk floated a culture question rather than another median table:

Do enthusiasts still want fast the old way — naturally aspirated and turbo gas cars, not hybrids — and is that preference a young vs old split?

Why it sits next to the F430 tape

F430s are a clean test case: pre-hybrid mid-engine Ferrari, berlinettas carrying the heat while spiders stay quieter. If that concentration keeps showing up across other pre-hybrid rows, the age/culture framing is worth tracking alongside the medians.

This take is conversational by design — no new frozen board snapshot beyond the same-day F430 context.
