The inherent problem with Porsches is that *** of theirs, sometimes that booty thinks its J Lo and start shakin itself free from your control.

So if you think you can hop on a 911 and start driving like you are Michael Schummacher, think again... it will beat you up, slap you over the head and throw you out of the car in the next corner.
One heck of a feisty car...

The Ferrari on the other hand, would be pretty much more docile... an oxymoron I know... but really, its simply easier to drive.
It takes a high-on-coke-celebrity or britney spears to crash a 360 really.

 

That's part of the charm for me. I ran a 993 at a couple track days at mosport, one of the more thrilling and at the same time demanding cars I have ever raced. Every iteration seems to have gotten a little softer, though the 997 seems to have gotten back a bit of the rawness that the 996 lacked. I came really close to buying early 70's 911, still kinda wish I had, would have been a fun car.

 

As a 996 turbo owner, I welcome the competition from our friends in Italy. It will be seen if they can have the reliability for daily driving as historically most F-cars barely get 3K-4K miles per year on them.

As I put about 13,000 miles per year on my car, I can say that few supercars out there can be used as easily on a daily basis as a 911, including for snowy conditions (you should see the expressions on the drivers of SUVs I pass in snow storms). And the 4 wheel drive versions can be put through their paces pretty easily on the track, with little of the throttle-off oversteer of old.
