I just bought a Toyota Tundra truck, and I'm lovin it. I'm using that as my do everything daily driver, so my second car is more of my pleasure car now. The Viper and Porsche didn't make sense as my only car, but now I can afford to get something impractical.
I considered a Porsche, but they are simply overpriced for what you get. The Viper is currently my No.1 choice for flash, speed, and pure fun. I'm thinking a Silver GTS. I also considered a Skyline GT-R from Motorex. I can't justify paying $28k for importation, and if Nissan starts importing them officially I'd feel like an idiot. There are too many rumors for me to feel comfortable paying a premium.
The other thing I love about the viper is that there is a TON of aftermarket support for the car. I like tuning cars, and the Viper is only restrained by budget. Most cars are restrained by parts availability. Some of the parts are damn expensive, but from my research it looks like 550hp can be had reasonably.
