So here is my take...
I have an 07 Vette. The car, from a performance only viewpoint is amazing. It accelerates incredibly, has insane handling, great brakes, etc. I have a non-Z06 with the Z51 suspension package. Here is the deal....it is so competent, that it is somewhat dull. I can do things in that car that were insanely difficult in my old 951, my 350Z, etc. The car is so good, that it makes it anti-climactic.

I have an 1983 911....this car isn't even in the same realm, never mind league as the Vette, but it is VASTLY more fun to drive. The limits are far lower, and its far more exciting when you approach them. The sounds, smells, and visceral feeling are without compare.

I use the Vette as a daily driver. I get great gas mileage, have all the modern acoutraments (sp?) and reliability of a new car. The 911 is reserved for fun blasts....

Now, the Vette has a cheap interior and, since it is my first Chevy I am concerned about reliability. I have owned it 18 months, 11k miles, and only had an oil change so far. So, so far so good. If only the interior wasnt made by Rubbermaid....
