Again, they do make a stripper Solstice for 20k with roll up windows and manual locks. If you are gunna make it a race car only, your best bet would be to get that, and to add an aftermarket turbo kit that Im sure will quickly follow for the 2.4 Ecotec. IMO, thats is your best bet.

something to drive to and from the track and compete in is out of the question? someone should tell the drag racers this
most stock class rules only allow for minor upgrades to the vehicle. a bolt on or two and the replacement of "common" wearable parts. nothing that is so nuts as to void a warranty. shocks, a spare set of wheels with grippy rubber, and maybe a CAI or cat-back in some classes.
it is also nice to have a car with up to date technology to compete in. it makes it much easier to work on since everythign is new and since it is cutting edge more people will be doing development(there are people who buy a new car nearly every season to stay on top of these things)
buying the base model and voiding the warranty with a turbo kit does not serve that purpose and would also not be allowed in the less expensive stock classes that i was looking to compete in.
to add a turbo to the car would throw it directly into A-mod and out of any chance in hell of finishing anywhere near the top of the field on indexed time or in class.
