It would be a good idea to attend a drivers school or two before you purchase a car. It will help you to determine what kind of car would be best for you.
The Spring Mountain School in Nevada uses new Corvettes and is a great learning experience with lots of track time. Russel at Sears Point (Infineon) is good to see if you would rather drive a real race car vs a production car.
Or you could sample the radicals at Spring Mountain.
You will be surprised how fast a stock Z06 is on a race course and how well it handles, they will eat old race prepared production cars. I am not recommending a new Corvette, but you will be amazed at how good they are and how bad old production racers are. It is just a good idea to sample different cars before you take the plunge. After driving a fast formula car or sports racer you will be spoiled for life when you see what truly great handling is like. After I drove my first Formula Atlantic I was ready to trade my Cobra for a new March, luckily the dealer turned me down and I kept my car.
