Good advice here from both B_Dol and 3002 tii.
I'll add my two cents. There are generally two reactions to a first track day: Where do I sign up for the next 6; this isn't for me.
All you really need at this point is fresh brake fluid, pads with 40-50%, an open mind, and a willingness to sign up for an instructed track day. If you like it, do a couple more. Then consider which way to go, whether than be upgrading the current ride, buying a dedicated track car, or upgrading. There's no right answer there either--I started off with a WRX, moved on to the Z4M, then a stripped E36 M3, and I'm on to another tangent now (basically consolidating cars since my available track time with work/family is limited and unpredictable).
Bottom line get to the track and try it. Then worry about the details later.
