(whereas did they make a bespoke 2,5L the block would have sat lower in the chassis). Still its a good engine power/torquecurve/responsiveness wise.
Obviously the V8 would be better, but it doesn't come with a manual. If only......
Oh well, then a Corvette it must be
If tech features/decisions with a reason is important to you, the corvette is interesting, as it is so different to other sportscars. (but not worse, just different)
I think a nice 911 with an engine generation that doesn't have the huge elephants in the room (IMS, boring score etc) is out of the budget. One could argue that a 911 is difficult to work on, but that also goes for just about any modern turbocharged car.
