Garage
My friend has a 1981 Ferrari 308 GTS which is similar in looks and in the ten years that I've driven along with him I do not recall a single twisting road driven at speed.

He cruises in it and does jack rabbit starts to beat out SUV's at intersections on lane ending roads.

The car gets lots of attention the once or twice a year he takes it out.

It's not a driver, it's an investment, a garage queen.

I would hope the 328 is a bit more than that for you.

The best things about my friends car is the gate shifting and engine sound.

EDIT:
Based on banking curves to get on the highway and parkway cruising with wide turns the 308 indeed feels heavy and not as light footed as a 911. Translate that into the Ferrari is more sure footed and the 911 more challenging to drive if you like. Most people like that challenge.
