having driven both of the cars in question, it really depends on what you want the car for, and what you like about driving.
I owned a 99 911 for 5 or so years, and loved it. Ive also driven a z06 on several occasions. The z06 is a significantly more powerful and faster car. It also can be modified and repaired less expensively than the porsche, and at least in a straight line, has more potential. On paper (like 0-60 times, etc) the z06 is the superior car.
Notice that i didnt own a z06. The stuff NOT on paper is where the porsche excels. Its much more refined, handles better, has an infinately nicer interior (the z06's is just pathetic), and feels 1000000x better to drive. Its also much more prestigious, and is a more fun car to drive. The brake and steering feel compared to the vette (which i thought was pretty terrible) is amazing. All the little things are also right (like it has better visisbility, the seats hold better, the gauges are more visible, etc etc) on the P car. Its also a much more gratifying car to learn to drive properly because its fast and responsive, but slightly counterintuitive.
Either way though, when you get one or the other, go to a local instructed track drivers education course (porsche club of america does them, as do many other clubs). youll never appreciate how fast those cars are on the street, nor be able to take them to their limit without proper education, or safely unless youre on a track.
and my son recently went through this decision as well, and he came out with an 05 subaru WRX STi. Its newer (has a warrenty), and also is very fast and capable on a track (he races with me). Its also got 4 doors and a nice trunk. Its a little more boy-racer though (although he is a very mature individual, and a good driver).

I'd go with the Porsche 911, It's better looking, it handles better than a corvette, it should get better gas mileage, if that's important to you -flat 6 v. V8- the 911 also has rear seats in case you need to drive with more than one other person. It's generally a more stylish car

My friend traded in his 2001 Z06 on a new convertable 911.
He seems to like it...ALOT!

to buy? well a porsche would be cool but if something went wrong fixing it would cost an arm and a leg. i would go w/ the corvette. although i'm not a huge vette fan.
