It all comes back to don't be a d**k You're just as likely to hurt yourself in any other sporty car. Don't be an idiot. Got to autoX, track days. Learn your car in a safe environment.

I did go way cheaper for a first RWD car. My 4Runner was free and it is RWD, it has a locked rear diff, and I know how to put it through it's paces.
