I would go for the N/A in this case as 300 hp in a 3200 lb coupe is fun as hell.

It would make a good 911 fighter.
I do agree w H6 engine... BUT no, please no! No on twin turbo boxer engine. It never was a great (Subie already did before on Legacy H4 engine). Even Yamaha or Toyota help to make it TT, it'll be waste of research. Why do you think even Porsche won't go there. Porsche have been using H6 engine for forever and iirc they only did it once to 993 and went back to single turbo.
