Good info in here
If you can afford a "dedicated track car" then consider buying a used race car. That way if you want to go racing you can and since it's dedicated you can set it up specifically for track without having to make any concessions regarding streetability in your setup. Meaning you can go super stiff or in the case of a FWD car (if you went that route) you can setup to be suuuuper loose which is dangerous on the street but fast on the track and very rewarding to "get right".

The other part to consider, since it will be dedicated to the track, is safety. Buying a used race car means you get a race seat, 5pt/6pt belts and a cage so you're safe in the event you ball it up. Also, since it's a used race car it has ultra low resale value so you can get into something fun, fast and is also affordable to "ball it up" vs anything else.
