I loved my F-body car (2000 WS6), but my C5 Z06 is a whole other world. Go for the vette!

Here's the real question. Do you need a rear seat? If you NEVER have friends or family in the back, get the ZO6.....which will still be freakin expensive even after dropping all that deployment $$ on it. If you need more room than you + 1, finish the F-body.

Of course, even bone stock the ZO6 will be running 11's and you can actually hear the radio with the windows open. But, if you dropped $20K on it, the monthly pament would still be $7xx a month for 6 years. Doesn't leave a lot of mod $$.

You'll figure it out and be happy either way.
