All of the cars mentioned are very good indeed. The beauty of the sports car market is that there are so many good cars to choose from. It's a GREAT time to be a car enthusiast.
Heck yeah! Too bad 95% of them are way out of my price range.
I rode in an '06 Mustang and I was happy when I got out! I was much more comfortable in the C5 Corvettes.
Really? The Mustangs have those dumb captains-chairs in the front. Theyre quite comfortable, but suck for sporting potential. The Vettes are decently comfortable no doubt, but theyre no Accord either. Of the 3, heres how Id pick them for comfort for a long cruise:
1. Mustang.
2. Vette
3. Viper
The current Viper is much easier for ingress/egress than the first models, but its still no cherry. The seats are highly bolstered and are hard, which is great for the track, sucky for a long drive.

I haven't taken any long trips in a Viper or Mustang, but I can tell you that the most comfortable seats I've been in for a long drive were in my CLK. They seemed hard at first, but the firmness made them very supportive for long trips while softer, cushier seats became uncomfortable after some time on the road.
Very nice! With the power-to-weight ratio you've got, that must be a very wild ride indeed!
It's not my ride. It belongs to a good friend. Originally a 289 with about 350 h.p. The car was real fast with the 289, I haven't been in it yet with the 351. He says it's out of control. My ride is a 1970 340 Duster. Second owner (bought in 1974)
I've heard they're bringing the Camaro back in 2009...That's what I would be waiting for!
Don't know for sure this is what they'll look like, this is a site for concepts, however:

Well, how does she know a TON about cars and she needs our advice? Seems odd. Most car enthuisiasts would have their choices narrowed down and go out and drive them all and get their own opinion rather than ask strangers on a public forum, some of which might not know jack crap about cars in the first place.
And knowing a TON about cars and knowing a TON about how to drive high-powered cars is like night and day. Whats her previous experience? Whats the car to be used for (ie drag racing, leisure cruising, autocross, etc)? Has she attended racing school? Done any kind of racing? Owned any other high-powered sports cars?
SHE isn't the one looking for advice...I am. I'm just her dumb blond partner who doesn't know beans about cars...LOL.
Yes, She is an excellent driver and she has owned other high-powered cars.
I'm here asking because I want to get her a car that she is going to be happy with in the long run. I don't want to buy something that she isn't going to like and wish I had gotten something better. She told me those 3 were the ones she likes best. Thats why I narrowed it to those.
