Time will tell, but I wouldn't pick either car based on "upside" potential.

Ferrari made too many Testarossas!? You're a smart guy and I respect your opinion. But Ferrari made about 7200 Testarossas from 1984 to 1991....less than 1,000 per year, worldwide. They also made about 2300 512TRs (no cheesegrater) from 1991 to 1994, so 500ish per year. Total of less than 10K cars in eleven years.
How many 930s were built with the same basic shape (answer is more than twice as many)? And how many non-turbos with the same basic shape? From, what, 1967 to 1989...argueably later? How many people know the difference between a turbo and regular 911 at a glance?
Even "high volume" Ferraris like the 308/328 have appreciated significantly. Have you seen Dino prices lately!?
Testarossas will be $150K cars soon enough, and $200K cars within a reasonable timeframe. How much is a NEW twelve cylinder Ferrari? How much is a NEW 911 Turbo? There's some of your answer....
