I'm still undecided as to what configuration suits me most front engine - rear drive or rear engine - rear drive. I'm leaning towards the former, as I do enjoy cars with a mobile rear end, which tends to be a front engined characteristic.
Maybe you should seriously consider a Corvette C06 . Good prices and they are proper track cars ( just change brakes + suspensions ) That car could actually give you all that you are looking for : performance, fun, very well balanced, hard core car , not much electronics , manual , very good price for what you get , lots of margin for ' tuning' , a huge engine etc... ( please lets put aside the ' image' as for any real car entousiast we know it is a very good sports car )
A good friend of mine has owned many sports cars ( Porsche, Ferrari .. up to a 458 cup that he shared last year and Corvettes , he has also done Formula car racing ) and has driven a lot at the N'Ring. He is now buying again a Corvette ( the special edition C06 ) as he says the Corvette is the best tool for the track if you prefer a front engined car. He is even giving up on the 458 cup ( for a few different reasons ) .
I drove in the passenger seat of his older C06 on the N'Ring..... and that was the most impressive lap I have done as a passenger in any car on that track .
Think about it , as you seem to want a front engined car !
On my way to the Corvette-dealer, can't wait to look as cool as that!
Kidding aside, I really appreciate the Corvette, especially as a C06 Z06, but I couldn't live with the image, I'd feel like growing a mustache and wear a jeans jacket.
But that does actually look like you
Try a Z06 ( I was referring only to that one , not the basic C06 ) , just once to see..... and imagine you in a dark grey, or black, not washed for a few weeks , low springs and faster then the Porsche .. then the moustache and jeans jacket would no more hunt your mind .
If you look at my friend you would never imagine he drives a Corvette ( only to the track ) as his DD is a Continental GT and he is dressed like a banker

I know, a dirty black lowered Z06 with bucket seats etc... is a cool looking thing. I'm not saying no, you got me thinking here.
