The 911. The C4 was boring, ugly and an under-performer for the Corvette name. Any other generation Corvette and there might be a different answer, but C4... Skip.

C4 Corvette V8 ZR1 is great.
993 Carrera 4S is bloody fantastic, even with less power.
It depends on what you are looking for, though.
The Corvette would be the power car, but has the engine over the non-driven axle, which makes the front heavy, and the rear light.
The Porsche puts the engine over the driven wheels for traction, and keeps the car shorter and a bit lighter, while having the front end still be low and aerodynamic. The Vette has to be longer to have such a pointed nose.
And for the pendulum effect that makes the rear end of the Porsche want to catch up to the front end, the front wheels are driven as well, to help keep the front end leading the car, and give it even MORE traction, rather than less traction when the powerful ZR1 engine lights up it's rear tires, and oversteers also.

It's a Zr1 with an LT5. Close to 400 hp, and, according to wikipedia, set a record for robustness by "24 Hours Endurance at 175.885 mph (283.059 km/h) for 4,221.256 miles"

Good to know!
Still an ugly C4 though...

My favorite 911 body style against a car I will forever be horribly biased towards. While I love that 911, I'd take that ZR-1 any days. Especially sunny ones with the roof off!

911. Though I'd trade the 4WD for the X51 power package (3.8 liter engine, 300hp) any day of the week.

How is this even a question?
