Advice! Fun car or another daily!?

Hey Guys.

Well I have some money left over and I have two choice right now. I'm in the process of allocating funds to build a nasty TT vette. 1000rwhp+. Totally streetable.

Aside from that car I have my SS, which is at 620rwhp (blast to drive "daily") and I have a SRT10 RAM with meth and a 150 shot of nitrous as a daily.

Now I have sorted it down to two options:

A) 2009-2010 C63 AMG (stock, black with black rims).
B) 2000 c5z06 Lingenfelter fully built twin turbo vette (1400rwhp~)


Now, the Benz would be another daily to have. The Vette would be another toy. Now take in mind, I am already planning to build a c6 TT vette. This would be just a fun car to have in garage and take out when someone abuses the camaro. On the other hand the c63 is a luxurious fully decked out car that wouldn't be bad to drive to the office every other day.

Opinions? Advice? I've never owned such a powerful car as the TT vette--it's also a manual... i learned on a manual sentra but haven't driven a manual in yearssssss. The AMG on the other hand is dual clutch and a wonder. One of my buddies has one and man the car is pretty mean for what it is!

C5 sounds like it's easier to get your hands on. And don't get the mercedes, stay domestic! (well, I know Central America isn't domestic, but you get what I'm saying!)
