I have definitely considered an Evora / S with a manual, but it took a lot of thinking and soul searching to figure out what I really want, and what I want is my old 4.7L V8 Vantage back. It's just such a damn good car. Even where it isn't (SportShift transmission, which is debatable because I liked it), a twin-plate clutch and lightweight flywheel transforms it. I saw this older gent pull up to the Garrison Woods Safeway in a well-kept black MG, and we chatted for a bit about it. He's had that car for thirty years, and that's what I think the AM V8V is to me.
So I'm working on making that happen now.
