OP, you need to really be honest with yourself as far as how you will be using the car, and what your HP experience has been. I've owned several 600hp+ cars in the last decade (Z06's and a Viper), and I can tell you from experience that you really can't enjoy that kind of power on the street. Yea, you can blast from stoplight to stoplight all day, but that gets old (and draws a lot of unwanted attention). Are you going to track it, autocross it, race it?
After selling my last Vette and buying the Z, I can truly say that I can fully enjoy the power this car has, and still avoid most tickets. I'm tempted to go the S/C or turbo route, but know from experience that I will never get my money's worth out of it.
Do what makes you happy, but make an informed decision.
