911.

Why? Yhe 911 handles like a boss. The Corvette is known for the lack of handling, but if you like to drag race, then the Corvette will do a better job, but if you want a car that can handle corners, then you won't find anything better than the 911 (in this class).
[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
I just want a car that rides better than a kia and can do 0-60 in under 5 sec. top speed and better handing are nice too. I know the 911 is cornering king, but thats not all I want and is not #1 on my list.

I may track this car some times, but it will be my only car so I will not be dragging this car.

[Off-topic] nemuro:
For handling, I am almost certain the 911 is better. Plus, it's a Porsche. :)

Proof of rich spoiled children having everything.

Sorry I can't give any more details, I don't have the coin to drive any of the two, but if you were to buy them for me I would gladly provide a detailed review :).

Buuut, if you really want speed and acceleration, try a motorcycle. On that I can give a detailed review as I've eaten up a lot of R8's and S8's.

ps: If you say you won't drag this car, why do you want it to do 0-60 under 5 secs?
[Off-topic] paragon2323:
Both would be nice to have, but it would be better for maintenance to go with the vette. And besides the vette sounds more sinister with a really nice exhaust.
[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
Why do all of you say the vette would be cheaper to fix?

The guy I know says they cost about the same to fix and that the vette rides like crap, but I don't thinkthats true for the c6 vettes.

I think I will go for the vette, but test drive before I buy.

From my 30 day old razr:D
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
That's a given. You'd have to be nuts to buy any car, especially a used car, without going for a test drive first. I can tell you, from having already taken approximately 100 test drives before making a purchase, the vast majority of used vehicles sitting on car lots are there for a reason. And that reason certainly is not to see you get a fair deal. And the ones that have nothing wrong with them, and don't smell like cleaning fluid are so overpriced........

I got so disgusted that I ended up buying new. Buyer Beware.
[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
I know a new car would be better to get, but I have wanted a sports car for a long time and want to go higher than a mus or a cam. That and I don't think I would like a v6. I know the 911 uses a flat 6, but it's a step up from mustang or camaro.

I may wait for the c7 corvette so I can get a better deal. The one thing about the 911s is there is not a lot of them for sale vs the vette.
[Off-topic] Perastis:
get the 911
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
Go to auto zone.com and compare prices for alternators, belts, hoses and radiator's, for the vette Vs the 911 and that will give you some idea what would be better for you. (that is if AZ even carries those parts for a 911)

Also compare hourly rates for a Porsche mechanic Vs a Chevy Tech.

Bottom line:

Buy whichever one you like (it's gonna be your car after-all), but don't go in over your head or get stuck with someone else's headache.
[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
For the parts I could find they trade blows, but There were a lot of parts I could not find for the 911 and can tell it would likely be a pain to fix if any thing more than a hose or alternator died.

I know the hourly rates for the 911 would be doom. I may wait too to make sure I don't go over my head with this. Edit: (gone for unknown---ahhhhh I am dead)

P.S I am not a kid any more, but I added that for fun any way.

I've had two Vettes, a 2004 and 2008 (still have it). Never had a 911 but I just got a 2012 Porsche Panamera:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21164914&postcount=162.

I love both cars. I would get the Vette because it's newer and probably faster. Try and swing a 2008 if you can, the horsepower was raised to 430 or 436 with exhaust option. Neither is going to ride like a Rolls. If they were both 2006's, I'd say go with the 911. Something to watch with the Vette: Tires are expensive as hell and you better have a backup ride for the snow.
[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
What trim did you get and thanks for the vote. I like that porsche you picked, but if I had 80k To buy a car it would be the GTR. If I had 100k-120k it would be a ZR1 and if I had 200k-300k I would not spend it all on one car. If I had 400-600k then I would get an SSC aero. 750k-1m I would get a SSC Tuatara or a Dagger GT. (If they ever make the dagger and it's any good. There is one more, but I like to buy cars made in the usa if I can.)

Edit: I don't really like the cars in the 200k-300k range that much.( But if I had to then it would be a 911 GT2 RS.)
[Off-topic] bradleyG:
Which trim of the each car would you get? Base model? For a track car I would probably go with the 911 but I've never driven either car so I wouldn't know how each feel. I've never been a fan of corvettes though. They seem like too much raw power and nothing to do with it. Personally I like Japanese cars but everyone has their own tastes and opinions. With 25k I could probably build an Evo IX or an STi that would spank both of those cars. But I know that's not everyone's style haha. Get what you like! My vote is for the 911 though.
[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
Most likely near base, becuase thats all I can get. I am not big on the moding your car thing just becusae I would need this car to work most of the time. Every one I know says corvettes can't make a turn or ride smooth, but they are form the 70-80s. So just like me have not been in a newer one or drove it. I sat in a Zr1 one time and it was cool.

You know with 25k that the 911 would be a gen older than the vette so it would get spanked on the track, but would do good on the turns. If I had 35-50k then I could get a 911 of =gen to the vette.

Trim Model

The 2008 was the base model 1LT with Z51 Performance package which gives you cross drilled rotors and the big ass loud exhaust.

[Off-topic] 4ktvs:
Yea in the the EU I am sure 911's are as many as camaros are here. Finding a good 911 near me that I can buy would be a lot harder than a vette, but in Italy buy a lamborghini or something.

[TouchPad Development] BigBadWolf84:
Note: This is done within WebOs, with preware installed, and a program called Internalz Pro installed from preware:)

1.Launch Internalz Pro (for help installing Internalz Pro see here)

2.Tap “Internalz Pro” in the top left-hand corner to open the application menu.

3.Tap “Preferences”

4.Scroll to the bottom of the screen and toggle the “Master mode” setting to “On.”

5.Tap “Yes” when the “Enable Master Mode?” warning screen appears.

6.Tap “Internalz Pro” in the top left-hand corner to open the application menu.

7.Tap “Close”

8.Using Internalz Pro, navigate to the following directory:

/boot

You can tap the “..” icon at the top of the navigation structure to move up one directory at any time during navigation. Your current location will always be listed at the top of the window. Simply keep tapping on the appropriate directory names (moving up a level if you need to backtrack or make a mistake) until you reach the proper location.

9.Tap the “mooboot.default” file.

10.Tap “Open”

11.Change the line:

CyanogenMod

to

WebOS

NOTE: DO NOT COPY & PASTE THIS LINE

12.Tap “Internalz Pro” in the top left-hand corner to open the application menu.

13.Tap “Save File”

14.Tap “Internalz Pro” in the top left-hand corner to open the application menu.

15.Tap “Close”

16.Tap “Internalz Pro” in the top left-hand corner to open the application menu.

17.Tap “Preferences”

18.Scroll to the bottom of the screen and toggle the “Master mode” setting to “Off.”

19.Tap “Internalz Pro” in the top left-hand corner to open the application menu.

20.Tap “Close”

21.Close Internalz Pro.

22.Restart the Touchpad. Now, WebOS will be selected as the default Operating System instead of CyanogenMod Android from the boot menu.
[TouchPad Development] dallas.maverick:
sorry, but wouldn't modifying moboot.default file be easier? Run the following command from terminal or through adb:

echo "webOS " > /boot/moboot.default

All you need to do is mount the boot partition prior to doing this which I assume can be done through TWRP or you can google it. Then again, pretty sure 95 out of a 100 users would want Android to boots by default.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
it should be "webOS" not "WebOS" ...

I tried using the easier method you mentioned but I think due to my lack of knowledge I was unable to get it to work. I just stumbled upon this at a website and it worked for me. I just thought this might be helpfull to anyone else like me. Wanted to install preware anyway.

Hey, no worries. I am sure there are others who couldn't get the easier method to work, so your steps will be appreciated. If you want to provide some additional details on where you failed in the easier method, maybe I can offer some additional help in case you need it in the future.

Another option

Or you could just install CyBoot in webOS and change the default back and forth to your liking. It just modifies the moboot file and it is stupid-easy, you cannot screw it up.

I rarely even boot into webOS anymore though. Waiting for the first open source update!

CM7 (and soon ICS CM9) are doing me fine right now.
[TouchPad Development] bit1:
Funny, I did this on my own by mistake. Just run Acme Installer and only have moboot and CWM in the cminstall folder. Put the Android build anywhere else (like the root). You then install Android from CWM. WebOS will be default. I was going crazy trying to stop webOS from being default, lol.
[TouchPad Development] quarlow:
+1 for cyboot package from preware. It has an idiotproof UI, and you can change the time of the delay.

Funny that the first time I installed android it booted into android by default but since I installed or upgraded to a newer rom its webos as the primary OS boot.
[TouchPad Development] jonjon68:
Funny, I'm the opposite. I only boot in to Android for specific applications. I've gotten used to the speed and ease of use of webOS. I'm an Android guy since the G1 days but frankly, Palm's OS is much more polished. if it had the corporate backing and application stack I doubt I'd ever run Android on my tablet. Now on my phone, completely different story.
[TouchPad Development] BigBadWolf84:
I wish I would have known about Cyboot as I searched and searched for an easy way to get a default boot into WebOs. All the info I found pretty much assumed I understood @;/?& acronyms and how to properly type commands in the terminal. I'm an old dos man and still could not get all the commands typed right. Off to preware for Cyboot. Thanks All!

[TouchPad Development] pegb856:
Agreed

My exact sentiments also. I think webOS is the ultimate OS for tablets and if the developers of either "Words with Friends" or "Wordfeud" would create a client for the Touchpad I doubt I would even have Android installed on it. I also use an Android phone, webOS doesn't cut it for me as a phone.
[TouchPad Development] BigBadWolf84:
Trying to support WebOs by buying apps that I can use to work and play. I love Android but I am quite satisfied with Android on my phone and WebOs on my Touchpad. WebOs takes some getting used to but kinda feels like an old comfortable T-Shirt. It's not that popular of an Os so web surfing and downloads don't worry me at the moment. I am watching CM9 and probably will try out Android again on the Touchpad but CM7 caused weird boot issues that I didn't care to live with. With WebOs I just turn my Touchpad on and go. Thats what I really like and all that matters to me. All you guys and gals at XDA really show me the possibilities.:)
[TouchPad Development] m37h:
I liked webOS, didn't quite like CM7, since it's a gingerbread, not for tablet. You should really try CM9, it's like night and day compared to CM7. I haven't boot to webOS since.

Easy way, from something like Xterm on webOS missed one line.

# mount -o remount,rw /boot

# echo "webOS " > /boot/moboot.default

then give it a reboot.

[TouchPad Development] jman391:
Yeah, I found it. Lol. But now, I can't get CyBoot to work with CM9. WebOS boots by default, but when I set to boot android on next boot, but I get no choice upon rebooting. It boots webOS by default everytime.
[TouchPad Development] quarlow:
Anytime I install a new ICS ROM it makes that choice the new default. I never tried the next boot option. I only used cyboot to change the default TO webOS, as every android install changed the default to android. You can try to edit the file as described in this thread. That can be done through internalzpro in webOS. Make sure you type the exact option as it appears in moboot, and it is case sensitive. Cyboot is just a GUI on top of that process.

[TouchPad Development] jman391:
I may try that, but upon boot I don't get the moboot screen anymore, it boots straight to webOS. Any suggestions?

I agree about the speed and ease of webOS on a tablet as well. Much more fluid and intuitive. Hopefully open source will keep webOS from dying.

Thanks for the info on cyboot!. My family uses the touchpad as well and the android on touchpad was not well received.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
There is a very easy method to just make a flashable zip to default to what ever you want. I would think adding this to any Rom before flashing would be the ideal method. As method mentioned before, edit the moboot.default file to which ever Rom/os and add the appropriate line in the updater script.

Bam, much easier than internals

[Kindle Fire Android Development] notsointeresting:
This probably won't happen for your Kindle Fire's. HTC Sense has it's own framework to work around and to get it to work on a non-htc device would require working from the ground up. Which most devs arent going to put in that much time. Currently I have only seen a sense build for one non htc device (Nexus S I think..) and that doesnt mean there aren't more though.

In all I am just saying don't get your hopes up for a build, or a mostly functioning one at that.

Sent from my HTC EVO Shift 4G
[Kindle Fire Android Development] adamantypants:
Beat me to it. I'd owned a few other non HTC devices hoping that Sense would be ported. But after extensive research and having done a few simple mods myself to Sense for theming, it's quite an undertaking to get Sense running smoothly. It's pretty fickle like that, porting over Sense features between HTC devices with different Sense versions is hard enough.

tldr: Don't get your hopes up. Do what I did and install Launcher Pro and Fancy Widgets and do your best to make CM7 look like Sense.
