The big wing aero isn't for everyone, and not part of the Ferrari image and sleek look. It's not their thing. I don't think it appeals to their customer base much either.
Many guys that have cross shopped the GT cars here have mentioned they don't like the wing either.
I personally like the look, but just giving my outlook and option on it.

My belief is that Porsche goes ***** out with the wings to differentiate the GT cars from the "Street Carrera's". After all, look at the 911R. No wing needed. They added underbody aero there. It's pretty much marketing and gives that track image. 918?? No monster wing either.
