From experience the Vette is going to cost you less in the long run if you start modding the E55. While the Vette is a nasty built car it still is uses GM parts so when you break something you have the option of factory or aftermarket and a wide variety of people who can help you fix it. The E55 isn't as easy to fix when you break stuff, it'll be more expensive due to lack of aftermarket and higher cost when you take it into the shop assuming that you're not going to be able to work on the E55 yourself like you could the Vette. I really like that E55 but a Vette would be just as cool in my opinion.

hmm....depends on a lot of factors, do you like manual cars? E55's are only auto...but I know a lot of guys deep in the 11's with tunes pulley and some exhaust...cars are sick. Though a Z06 is baller too.

How much are you looking to spend? SRT10 Vipers are getting pretty cheap. There's one on corvetteforum for $30k or something close.

Man, I don't care how well it performs for a 4 doors, that AMG is still a 4 door lol. If you don't need the extra space, why would you even consider it over the Corvette??
C5 all the way.

The E55 is just a plain PIMP *** ride that has some ***** to go with it..Airbox, ECU, and pulley makes them a completely different animal. 11's in big 4 door benz would be my opinion of a perfect vehicle..
On the other had the ab, pulley and ecu run about 5G's!!![Icon Eek](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_eek.gif)
Ive even been thinking about getting one of the CTS-V's and doing a nice H/C/I combo on it.....
Soooo many options
