You're right, the six scream and in the best way possible. The turbo is about $60-70k more.
Not used....you can get a 2014 Non-S Turbo for $115k easy.....unless you are really stuck on a manual. Then I would look at 997.2 Turbos in the $80k ask area.
I've had 4 Corvettes in my lifetime.....but they are EVERYWHERE now. I too would prefer a Viper.
Base turbo is MSRP 159,200.00 + transportation and can easily be optioned over 200K.
Base Carrera S is 103,400 + transportation and can easily be optioned to over 150K.
Base Z06 is 79,450 + transportation and can be optioned over 100K.
But this about which you like driving, not price.
Dealer here was offering a loaded Z06 ($108K MSRP) for $88K.
Goofs had it for months. They wouldn't let anyone test drive it for fear of hooning.
Couldn't find anyone dumb enough to pay full price without a test drive.
If I were in the market, I would've found a dealer that would let me drive one, then buy theirs and pocket the $20G's.
That may be what happened because they did eventually sell it.
No one is buying a Carrera S for 180k. That's a loaded Turbo for that price.

I repeat, no one is buying a Carrera S for $180k. $180k is a Turbo with over $20k in options.
And no one is paying 120k for a z06 either but I'm sure with a little thought you can see the delta from base to fully loaded as I detailed in the post you originally quoted
And the option cost from Porsche is through the roof, a base turbo in the build option starting with the "popular"
Preset is 180k the performance preset is 181k, it would be easy to push it over 200k
The Porsche is sexy, sophisticated, well-mannered and a blast to get the engine revving and hit the twisties. It looks like art and sounds incredible
The Vette is the perfect example of power when you want it and fairly tame when you don't. It;s sinister, loud and beefy while also being a fairly comfortable ride. It too is an absolute blast and that V-8 is a beast.
Good job describing the aesthetics. If you're having a really hard time deciding, maybe wait 6 months or so to decide. Maybe you will have a more than minor preference then.

Your original post, you were over $30k dollars off. And no, you can't add up enough options to a Carrera S to make it $180k.
I'm well aware of what a Carrera S, Turbo, and Turbo S go for from the factory, loaded with options. I happen to have one.

I wasn't off, I built it on porche's website a minute before I completed the post you originally quoted. I did the same for the z06 so I hate to tell you, unless porche's North American> United States site had a major malfunction you are absolutely incorrect

Clearly despite your ownership you don't known what they go for loaded with options from the factory because you are 100% incorrect in your attempt to correct me.
Ps I didn't make it all the way through the option list

Ok, I stand corrected. You took a $103k car and added $78k worth of options to it. Most people are not adding special $3,140 paint, then having the wheels painted to match as well, along with the keyfob, seat backs, etc.
The highest dollar option you can add is PCCB, which is $9k. After that, you reach a point where you don't add more options... You buy the next model up, because then you get some of those options for free with the higher trim level and it's cheaper to do it that way. Look at how many options you have for performance for the Carrera S. Then look at how many options you can choose for the Turbo. There's only about one third as many, because the rest of it is standard on the higher trim car.
A Porsche with $30k in options is considered well optioned. A Porsche with $40k in options is VERY well optioned, loaded. Anything over that is frivolous stuff like spending $530 to have your key painted to match your car.
As the OP said, both are completely different cars. As an everyday driver type of car, Porsche by far. I'm sorry, but the corvettes are made to compete on the track, but aren't that comfortable on a normal road.

And do you know th base price of a z06? It's not close to the over optioned 120k that it can price out to as well
