Yeah, I'm not the best source of advice, as my sig suggests ...
The 1.5 is the slug of the family. That is relative of course, they are ALL slugs, but the 1.5 is ... well, a 1.5.
You can still have a ball in one though, that is the name of the game. It will give you pretty much all the thrills of its faster brethren through the twisties, it will put as many smiles on your face as its quicker brethren cruising top down to your favourite picnic spot, or picking up the BF/GF for date night. And so on.
You want to track it? You will probably be running in a 'up to 1.6l' class, so giving away 100cc to a full 1600, but you will have a weight and handling advantage. It should do well, but I don't know of anyone doing that, so can't confirm - others might be able to.
So have at it. Go in with the knowledge of what it can do, and what it can't, and how that shapes up for you. Know that whatever you get, over time what you want from it will inevitably change, maybe a little, maybe a lot. But you are not locked into it, you can alter it, replace it, or just walk away and do something entirely different.
