I love the car, but I think it would be a lot better with a N/A F20C making the same power than with the low-revving boosted powerplant it got...

YES! Finally someone gets it. Saying 'keep it on boil' for an engine that chokes at it's high end (which isn't even at a high rpm) proves you don't understand the argument.
The 4C would be a much better car with a K24 swap [emoji38]

Haven't yet been able to drive the Alfa, the boxster is an absolute gem though. For a mid engined car it is very predictable and forgiving at the limit. You can actually slide it without scaring the crap out of yourself.
The 4C is not forgiving at the limit (going off reviews), which gets worse when coupled with an unpredictable torque curve, and is not available with a manual. It's faster, but it won't allow you to okay around at the limit.
Most publications agree that as sports car, the boxster is better
