This is coming from a 22-year-old college student.
Either way, I came to my 135i from a 200whp track Miata and will always miss the handling of that car. Other than that, I can't find a reason to move on... yet.

I'd rather drive a light car that makes 100-hp than a car that can't turn.
There is much, much more into a car other than handling.
OP - If I was to add up all of my modifications on my car, I'm around $9k give or take. There are limitations sure, but in the end you have to be ready to write a car off if you want to track it. Helps that my car is a lemon, so I don't take much of a loss if it goes into a wall....but it will still hurt.
IMO - Spec Miata, Spec E30 or something of the sort will be a perfect track car. Look around $15,000 for full safety and modifications and you're golden
