I can't agree with you on that, David.
have got is a
semi-modal, so you can't actually use the operators
do and
does to make a statement like the above - it's only
have that is correct:
She has a Ferrari.
So does he. (common usage)
So has he. (old-fashioned; more formal)
She has got a Ferrari.
So has he. (common usage)
So does he. (incorrect)
