Kind of in the same boat. But this will be a 50/50 daily and track car. I'll DD it to work when the weather is nice, take the truck otherwise.
Went from looking at turbo models(and higher budget), and settled on either a 128 or 328. Picking up a 128 this weekend for under $10k; and I'll be using the rest of the money I budgeted on good 2-ways(JRZ,MCS etc) LSD, Bushings, Wheels, Maintenance etc.
I'll track the car quite a bit and reliability is king for me, as well as cheap/plentiful engines. 200-250 whp in a somewhat light chassis is a lot of fun, and you won't be spec Miata slow
