Which car would you rather own 911 turbo or Ferrari 308 and why
If you had to choose between and 80's 911 Turbo and a Ferrari 308 GTS which one would you rather own? I was just wonderfing since I was just looking on ebay and they both seemed to be about the same price.
I'd choose my '89 944 Turbo

930 hands down! No question about it.
1) It looks better
2) It performs WAY better
3) Its a Porsche
4) Its not going to cost me too much to fix it
5) easier car to mod

As far as performance or practical concerns go it's the 911 all the way.
The 308 is the entry-level Ferrari and satisfies those people who've always want one. What the heck - it could be fun to have one.

911 turbo anyday of the week. Here's why, its reiable cheap to maintain(compared to the f-car) and I could do alot of the mantainence myself. adn i don't have to worry about doing the 30K belt service(I already have one car where I have to do that) Plus the 930 looks alot better IMO. But I wouldn;t mind having a 308 or a 328 one day just for fun

Many say the same thing about 944s

Never driven a 930 but I have driven a 308 Q. Car was pristine and gets lots of attention but it's a dog to drive. About as fast as my old 280ZX which was relatively slow. Maintenance cost nightmare. I'd take a mid 80's 930 any and everyday of the week. Probably have a little cash leftover for maintenance when comparing actual sales prices.

911 - thought the 'Magnum' Ferraris are sexy, they're still not as unique as the classic Porsche design. All the service and maintenance costs associated with Ferrari ownership is also a huge factor. They are beautiful in that Italian way but c'mon - a deep silver 911 with the fat flares and whale tail - gorgeous!
Plus the 911 has always been on my top 3 dream cars list (427 AC Cobra and '63-67 Stingray hardtop...just so you know )

I would go for the 911 Turbo in a heart beat. ITs faster more reliable and cheaper to maintain and easier to find a service center for. I think all of this has already been said though. Also i think we all here might still be kind of biased i mean we all are porsche nuts.

Absolutely, without question, the 930 Turbo, unless I was a Ferrari die-hard and "had to have one".
The Porsche is faster, better built over-all and will cost a lot less $$ to run.
The Ferrari is more exclusive, flashy and exotic.
