If I had $40k to buy a fun sports car, I'd probably buy an 02-04 C5 vette, and build it up and track it. For that coin, you could almost get Ligenfelter to do his TT magic on it.
Since you have driven before, I think the C6 will be more pleasing to drive. I really think the winning answer is a used C6 convertible, which was mentioned earlier. With the economy now, people should be giving them away. You could probably get a great deal on an 08 or 09 (I forget when mid life cycle dress up was).

Re: 2011 Camaro Convertible vs 2010 Corvette Coupe
The C6 is nearer to the end of it's life cycle than the new Camaro.
That said, a vette is a whole differ experience than a camaro. I'd be looking to track it though, so my perspective is biased. If you want something convertible, and clean that you drive around and be middle aged in, then a Camaro would be fine.
Camaros are slow in corners. They have alot of lateral roll due to weight. It's a straight line car. The vette is more nimble, and when given correct steering inputs, can really slice and dice. I would not classify it as "easy to drive" however. The power/weight ratio on a C6 is more than most people have encountered before. It will take some learnin' to get good in it.
How about a Harley?
