I have been around cars my whole life and know quite a bit for my age (16). I have done 2 motor swaps, one in a Mazda b2200 and another in a 240sx, I have also done a complete restoration with my neighbor on his Triumph Spitfire and am currently doing one on my dads 1952 dodge regent, its almost done. I love working on cars and fixing them and for my age i am pretty good at it, with time comes knowledge and I am still learning. And yea that V12 Is a really nice car I'd love to own it but sadly it is out of my price range 
BY THE WAY! I planned on parking the car on my driveway and not driving it until I replaced the timing chain guides no matter how good their condition is.

I think no one has anything against the car itself.
You basically asked for advice on an internet car forum, and several members with experience on that model gave their input and you basically told them they were wrong. A few other people gave you advice on owning a first car and you told them they were wrong.
Of course, you can go ahead and do your own thing, but I hope you realize other people are just telling you from experience what is going to happen.
