There are plenty of lower mileage NA cars from previous generations of BMWs and Porsches if you don't want a corvette, mustang, or FCA product. The previous gen C63 is also a fantastic car, particularly the updated version.
The thing is that a ZF8 doesn't really mean anything special, the tuning, exact materials and gear ratios that make it work well in one car are not necessarily replicated in the next. It's a good transmission, outstanding in some cars, but others are very poor.
