Then you have to factor in the hassle factor because you'd have to tow a small trailer or put it on the trailer to get it to the track.The way I see it, if you're gonna do time trials, you'd be silly to even consider a different car over just keeping the GSX and continuing to make it faster and sort it out.
From what you've said I don't think you're looking to race this year. Racing something like a S2000 will definitely cost more than what you're paying to track your GSX. As RJ said, once you are really pushing to go fast you will burn stuff a lot faster. You'll flat spot tires, you'll burn through tires in general, gotta pay entry fees etc. Now if you're just doing the occasional time trial it'll be more reasonable to track a S2000. But in that case you might also want to look at a 350Z. It's a little more convenient than the S2K. Maybe an E46 330 could do it for you too but they're a bit heavier and slower than the other two.
It sounds like you want something streetable, fast, and fairly stylish that is RWD/AWD. Something under about 3200 lbs and is relatively convenient.
