Yes probably the kit wasn't better looking but the Porsche 911 was far more
quicker and built to last
Hence the 'huge' rise in residual values of the classic 911, Ferrari is a
myth based on people have more money than sense.
Poorly manufactured cars, cheap labour, cheap paint and tinpot materials.
Everyone whom I have met who has owned a Ferrari always has vast tales of
woe to tell, everyone whom has owned a 911 rejoices in its sheer ability to
do everything perfectly & that includes being a better drive and also far
quicker than its Ferrari counterparts.
Within 20 years, Ferrari simply won't exist, stock up on your parts now !

Before I got my 911 it was a toss up between the 911 and the 308. Both had
equal specs, and, to my eyes, the Ferrari was beautiful while the Porsche
was classic. I read a road test comparing the two, and while the Ferrari
got better marks for being more civil in the handling department (no
unexpected 180's), the Porsche got higher marks from the writers as a fun
car to take on a trip. Add to that the fact that there is nobody around
here who fixes Ferrari's and it wasn't a hard decision to make. That said,
the 308 I didn't buy is worth a lot more than my 911 today.
