I would say that Ferrari and Porsche are probably as good as each other where transmission shifts are concerned, but Ferrari is way more emotive because of engineered kicks. Also, Ferrari seems more ‘impressive’ when you consider that they have to rev up the engine at the same rate but with 2 or 6 more cylinders. You can get in a Porsche and drive it like a normal car, but the Ferrari has some learning curves to some of its models, especially where the ceramic brakes are concerned - very very little bite when cold, which makes city driving quite stressful.

I agree with some of the other comments like the base options could be better. Ambient lighting should be a standard thing these days - whether or not the owners use them is up to the individual but they should be standard because they are often an option only in the low hundreds. I also agree with the sports exhaust comment, and especially with the Huracan that comes standard with the sports exhaust (at least in my country) and it really brings a sense of occasion when you want it, and perfect docility when you want that. Even the Giulia Qf comes with an Akra titanium exhaust as standard.

I also do believe that there is a 911 variant for everyone, with the base model being comfortable enough and surprisingly good with fuel consumption, to the high end screaming engines in the top variants. Sure, there are brands that get individual models better than Porsche’s equivalents like the E63S vs the Panamera Turbo S and the Stelvio Qf vs the Macan Turbo, but as a whole lineup, Porsche usually wins by a mile.
