Well, the AWD watercooled Porsches have a history of feeling very vague and disconnected compared to their RWD bretheren (notice that the GT3 and the GT2, both RWD examples, are media and track favorites). The Ferrari is a RWD thoroughbred that makes very few concessions to the touring/luxury aspect of high dollar sports cars, whereas the Porsche 911 long ago adopted rear seats and electronic aids in order to protect its affluent but inexperienced drivers.
Ah well, at least with the GT2 there's still a Porsche turbo that can bite you in the ass in the grand tradition of the classic 930.
