At the end of the day the most important thing is that you have something to drive at the track, regardless.  I drive a Vette but I also love 911s and would love to have a 993 track monster like Glen's. 

As Darren mentions replacement parts are a wash if you compare 2005 911 to 2006 or newer (C6) Z06.  But that same $40 k can buy a low miles C5 Z06 and leave $10k for rotors and pads. ($40k won't quite get you a C6 Z06 just yet but getting close).  Corvettes are fast but a well driven 911 isn't anything to sneeze at for sure.

Glen and I have discussed reliability as he gives me grief over my current mechanical woes, but I've had six reliable seasons and over 20k miles of track abuse on my '01 Z06 prior to this year and the current issue is not the car's fault but a result of pressure related oil leaks subsequent to a preventative rebuild.  

I love my car but I'll have a 911 too one of these days.
