I moved at the beginning of the year and now have poor access to autocross but much better access to HPDE/track days, so those are starting to take a bit of a priority for me.

I've run 2 days of HPDE in the WRX and other than brake pads (stoptech street performance) getting significantly glazed over, it took it like a champ. But, its my daily that I'd rather not modify much and otherwise don't want to ptlut it into a wall.

What are your thoughts about an early FRS/BRZ for a replacement to the S2000 and dual purpose autox/track car? I think Ive read in the thread you actually own a '15 WRX and have significant S2000 experience. Would the twins leave me wanting more? I'm very attracted to having a newish, stiff platform with such low weight.

I'd also be interested in hearing other ideas for track cars - but, to make things harder, I need quite a bit of headroom at my height which makes a miata or S2000 significantly comprimised comfort and streetability wise to meet 'broomstick rule'

Thanks!
I actually own all 3 cars in your post.

Why not track the S2000 first? Do your local tracks REQUIRE you to have a roll bar? Have you considered just putting a rollbar in your S2000?
