There's your answer then.
Personally though I'd go for an XE as they tend to go wrong less and would still be a hell of a lot of fun

whats up with it again?
if you're after track days then perhaps fix it currently, then add bodies a little way down the line.
depends how much you want to save, but a turbo 2l 8v would be cool. like that isaac hunt nova. seems to be quick.
saying that i do love my xe and it's a cheap otion if you get one that'd been recently rebuilt

If you want if for drag racing then imo that rules out the 1.6 straight away. Sure, some do 14-15sec, but a 2.0/Turbo is where you can really compete against much more powerful/out of the box quicker cars.
All of the above is only my opinion, although it is fact I am sure I will be corrected. Statuary rights are not effected.
