Gear head I'm not, I do believe the Vette '58 has a V8 and the Porche a 4 cylinder engine. Seeing both and hearing them at various car shows they are both exquisite works of art. I'd take the 58 VETTE.
 
Although I've had a Porche model for the last 6 years, back then I would have taken the Vette in 58 if I could only have one.
 
'58 Vette all the way, but stock as in post #3, not "squirreled out" like the photos in posts #1 and to a lesser extent #5 above.

To me that's like refinishing your all-original '59 Les Paul Standard, and installing a locking nut and Floyd Rose dive-bomb bridge on it.
 
No question I'm going with the Vette. It looks better and its more powerful.
That said give me the 67 Vette all day. Last model year of this particular body style

Hands down.

Now if you offered up a Series 1 Etype or a 67 corvette with the L71 engine in it, both numbers matching, my God, that would be so hard to pick.
