The 308 will be the next Ferrari worth a fortune. Just think, 20 years ago, someone was asking this question about a 356 and an older Ferrari.

I love Porsche's but only a fool thinks that a 930 is going to have more end value than a 308. BTW, the Ferrari can be maintained at home just as well as a 930 and if you are using a wrench to do all the work there is a roughly 40% gap in maintenance with the Porsche being cheaper.

the 930 definately, much more power, very easy to mod for even more power, in my opinion it looks better (the 930 is one of the sexiest cars ever made IMO), it would be much easier to repair and maintain as well as be much less expensive to repair and maintain

I rather drive a 911 turbo for speed but as to owning one, I know for sure I will buy a 308 GTSI or 328 sometime in the future and unless a 930 fell in my lap for a good price, I would not go seek one out. I believe the 308/328 is one of the best looking cars of all times (not that I don't think the 911 turbo is great) but the side air intake is one of my favorite parts. I know I will own one in the next 5 years, though the 900hp (detuned) twin turbo testarossa with $100k in receipts just for the engine alone selling for less than $60k on ebay tempted me about 2 years ago (either buy the second house or buy the car). Needless to say, I opted for the first choice.

I'll take the Ferrari and do the work myself. There is a website dedicated to helping 'rarri owners do work themselves. That said, I love the 911 and I absolutely want one and will someday have one...

Id take the 'rrari just because ive already owned 2 porsche's. Thats the only reason, just for something new. PLUS it is more exclusive to own a ferrari even if its the entry model

I'd take the 930 for sure, the 308 is a dog to drive, and I love the 930. However if you add the 328 in the mix, it gets hard.

Someone should post a nice pic of a 328...that would help in the decision making process! I think they are hands down way sexier than any 911. Silly expensive to maintain = me never having one though! And, they ARE kinda old at this point!

328's are fun, and relatively reliable (as far as ferrari's go)

Gorgeous!

328, no question. Between a 308 and 930, it would be a toughie but I think I'd still pick the 308. Only reason being I want to own a Ferrari before I die, and I already own 2 Porsches. Not to mention that Ferraris are my favorite cars, and the 308/328 are near the top of my all-time favorites list!
