or a gt2 maybe??

They are rated at the bottom of the list when it comes to value/quality and lead the market significantly in recalls. I agree, its an awesome sports car in the performance and appearance catergory, but remember that when you're pushing it home. 
p.s. the viper isn't even a consideration.

That's initital problems and I know full well that Porsche has 'em. But in the long term you will have fewer problems with Porsche I think. You look at a 15-20 year old 911 and 9 times out of 10 it's still running as good as the day it was bought, the interior is still in good shape and the body still looks beautiful. You can't really say the same for vettes. I guess time will tell how the new ones do, but the C5s don't look like they'll be any better than the old ones.

Now because they are rare and sought after, they're value is going to be higher than that of a equal year 'vette and cost more for an individual to own and maintain. With that said, who is going to spend a lot of money to beat the shit out of it. I believe that is why these cars are in better condition than there competition.
any car that is taken care of will look beautiful even after a few years.
problem is, most people are lazy.
