so that brings me wanting to get a more affordable platform as a dedicated track car.
These two statements are polar opposites. Are you looking for a dedicated track car to push and thrash on track and save the GT4 for daily and light track? Or just getting back in a Twin to supplement the GT4, tracking neither of them hard?

For a dedicated track car I'd find a cheap used gen 1 (if budget allows, I'd suggest a 2017+ for the incremental improvements in reliability). Or consider other platforms (such as Miatas).

For a companion to the GT4, a second gen makes more sense (thanks to the better engine and more refined cabin) but it will cost you for sure. Might make more sense to buy a brand new one, depending on wait times in your area. Or just wait for the market (both new and used) to cool down some more.
