Probably a version 4 or even a higher mileage version 5 STI type RA, still you will or could have issues with fuel surge on the track, and you would really need to upgrade several components if your doing that sort of work too (brakes for instance, and a swirl pot would be on the "to buy" list )

Cavalier 4x4 turbo if you can find a good one. I had one and had problems with a porous cylinder head and a fragile transfer box. Find one thats been looked after and you,ve got a very good cheap track car.
