If your serious about racing you have to pick the circuit your going to race in NOW, then pick the car you want to use to compete in that circuit.

Personally a 4th gen or (if you want to spend more money)a 3rd gen F-body can be great road race cars. They are cheap to get and (if you get an LS1) make a good foundation for a performance car. The car is going to get beat and possibly crashed, don't spend all your money initially on the car then have nothing to go racing with.
While I do see your point the difference is that I would prefer not to have to build a track car, that's why I happen to like the exige. However I do see your point and if I can find a camaro built for the track then I wouldn't mind having the exige be a "backup" car and use it once I'm established in the racing circuit
