I am one who spent a lot of time at a track over my life. I have a BRZ because it IS just fun to drive. I now have a grand daughter that is driving and have been teaching her to drive with a stick. She is now quite good and look forward to having her drive it at the track as a very good learning tool. I have modified the engine and little else. I have Ecutek tuning for the engine because of the super charger (one of the first sprintex) so I asked Zack to fix me a driver training program. Easy on the throttle, lower rev limit.
Since you seem to be of the same mind, a stock BRZ or FRS is about as good as you can get for a learning tool. By the way her dad has a Ford Focus RS and she is now driving that but only under supervision. He is also my driver for the Noble M400 as I am getting older and I would like to think I am smart enough to no I am no longer competitive, I still drive it on the track for fun, but not racing. Think of me as on the back side of life but not giving up yet. That was one of the reasons I got the BRZ, I can still drive it 10/10 ok maybe 8 or 9/10 at the track.
I have been lucky enough to have driven many cars at the track and I can say without hesitation the BRZ platform is as good a learning and practice car as you can get. You will not be disappointed in this stock car. Later you might think about upgrading parts as he learns but start stock and learn to drive properly with an instructor (usually not dad).
I do understand soundman98 but you were talking about a track or autocross car.
