Turbo
How, exactly, did you come to that conclusion?

The Ferrari has a 3 liter engine, the Nissan has a twin turbo 3.8. The Nissan makes so much more HP with a slightly larger engine. However, the 0-60 is not too far off between the two cars, only a second difference because the Ferrari has a weight advantage but is still slower than the Nissan from the lack of power. They both were expensive cars when new. The Ferrari was the almost the same price as a 2018 GT-R Nismo but not too far off from a 2008 premium. If you choose the Nissan, you have a very quick super car for little cash. If you chose the Ferrari, you have a little bit slower super car for a little bit more money (original MSRP).
 
I'm by no means a GT-R fan, and I would take the GTO, but you can get approximately 1400 of that GT-R for one GTO. What a weird comparison.
 
How would you prefer to listen to an odd number of cylinders firing with the top down?

1963 Ferrari 250 GTO - classic, performance is irrelevant
BMW i8 Roadster - which surprises me, because I generally prefer Audis to BMWs, but I am intrigued by the powertrain
Audi S8 - just a general preference for Audi, as stated previously
1973 Volkswagen 1303S GSR - never been a fan of the Super Beetle, but it's still an air-cooled VW, so it needs to go in my garage
1999 Chrysler PT Cruiser - nearly as useful as a minivan without being forced to drive a minivan
