Honestly, get your own place (with a garage) before you drive an expensive sports car. Priorities dude. Build your equity and get in a comfortable financial place before you go spending all your money on what amonts to a toy. People make say that life is too short for a conservative approach like that, but that's how I paid off my first house in 4 years. Once you house is paid for, it's amazing how much extra cash you'll have to spend.
Also, it's a very strange predicament as the cars are completely different. If you're attracted to the vette because of the power, you've missed the point. It's a sports car, not a 1/4 mile racer. It's supposed to be fast, but it's the speed around turns that makes it awesome.
You also have to consider insurance and maintenance costs and ease of repairs. Mustang parts are plentiful, fairly cheap and generally easy to install. The vette is a mechanics nightmare and parts are expensive. My friend has a C5 and his wheel bearing just went, just a cool $300 dollars. This type of deep consideration is why the Mustang is a better choice then many many cars, including all those 4WD turbo imports that are complicated and will break you wallet fast.
