Stock 128's are perfectly fun at the track. Turn DTC all the way off, otherwise you will burn through rear brake pads quicker than you can believe, and enjoy the drive.

Edit: Regarding high mileage, I tracked mine regularly and I'm rapidly approaching 200k miles. 95 degrees outside and I've never had limp mode at the track.

These cars are very safe starter cars. Built-in understeer, while annoying to experienced drivers, is safe for newbies. With mods it can be pretty much totally eliminated; my car's now quite twitchy and exciting to drive with some average suspension work.
