That is correct. I am not looking for a committed track car...I would want a street car that I could throw a set of tires on and play with some friends at the track.

Depends to a large extent on relative driver abilities...if you have similar (or worse) track ability you will get owned pretty hard by any modern supercar. Another thing to remember - you don't want to go off and take a chance on ending up inverted in the Cobra. Not a healthy activity at all, and it's another area the modern supercar has an advantage over the Cobra, they are much safer in a crash. Be careful out there.

And the thing about a Miata is, as stated, it's relatively cheap and safe. And you don't have to take out a second on the house to replace it! Just get another one and keep racing!
