if the cars can be found for the same price, and you do a lot of driving, the Corvette might be a little better, IMO.
It gets much better highway MPG, and has more accessories that make driving long distances more comfortable. Plus I believe they have an automatic option, if you don't like the thought of getting stuck in city traffic with the heavy clutch of the GT500.

If you do few miles though, I think the GT500 is a cooler way to go! Plus it will hold a lot more stuff.
