I hear you, but I've really tried to like E36 M3s and they just leave me cold. And I'm talking about the all singing, all dancing Euro version here.
TBH at that point I'd rather get another Miata.

What about an Elise?

This really makes no sense to me. The E36 M3 (even in US trim) is poised, and a very good car, but with normal track mods it's raw, sharp, and plays well above it's pay grade in terms of lap time.
A caterham is a brutal, raw, high maintenance bit of car that can be faster than a well prepped anything tin top but it's a lousy car. It's as close as a kart will ever come to being street legal.
The Miata is a little car that isn't as good a car as the E36 at anything except being smaller and slower, and it's a really big project that costs a ton to make capable of playing at M3 track speeds. And you never did get yourself to fit in the one you had nicely prepped. So... a dead end.
I agree with docwyte... you don't really want what you think you want. Maybe you should buy track wheels for the 996 and just go drive a bit. Porsche makes a pretty good car - and it's all ready to go to the track as-is.
