Any suggestions welcome.

That's probably a sweet spot of aerodynamics and size that you aren't going to easily match elsewhere. 42mpg would be unheard of unless maybe it's imperial mpg, but even then that seems highly unlikely given that drag goes up as the square of velocity.
Corvette gets relatively good mpg in the non Z06/ZR-1 trims due to very low profile, but is radically different as far as intent. If you want a torque monster, the suggestion above for the 550 isn't a bad one. Maybe wait for the new 440. Personally, I think one of my next may be the Audi RS5 sportback or S5 of the same. I like that they take that up to the full "ridiculous" level. I think there was a rumor that BMW would do a 4 GC "M" spec this time too? That would be cool IMO
