I have an itch for cheap fun to drive car. I have narrowed things down to 3 candidates:
1- 1994 NSX with auto, 25K miles, very good condition overall - $30K
2- 2015 FRS release series 1, brand new, Price ?
3- Subaru WRX, brand new, market price
True, if power and speed was a big issue. But you also have to consider what insurance will run on a Z06.....if you can get a policy at all.
When I looked a few years ago, I was 28 at the time, insurance on a 1999 Corvette was $500 every six months, a 1999 Trans Am WS6 was $600 every six months, and a 1999 Integra GS-R was $900 every six months. The Integra was also $10,000 cheaper than the Vette in the used market at that time.
Insurance companies set rates based on accident/claim statistics, not horsepower levels alone.
Here is what it looked like regular ($55K+ of upgrades)
Then someone got it after I got it taken away and messed it up after that. It was the worst car I ever had, It felt every bump in the road and was the harshest thing I have ever been in and you had to worry about knocking the front end off.
You should sign up on nsxprime (if you haven't already) and read up on the wiki information that is on there. Members there are pretty helpful.
The automatic transmission won't be able to handle the higher performance driving or tracking.
You'll have to get the manual instead.
When it's time to get the hellcat, you'll see the nsx will hold it's value darn well... however, you might decide to keep it though
Darn it, so I might get the NSX auto just for fun, and figure things out if I would need a different car for those high performance driving duties that may or may not happen. Sounds like a win win situation.
Wandering into a local Toyota dealer looking for something to test drive, and guess what, there was a mint condition 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo sitting there. It has only 128 KM on the clock.
This was one of my favorites.

sorry to hear you didn't like it, but maybe the 55K+ of upgrades included stiff coil overs which may have lead to the harsh ride? the stock nsx suspension is pretty comfortable. what did you mean when you say you 'got it taken away'?
