Oh, that's an easier question! Start over from a more track-friendly platform. Something that doesn't weigh as much as a land whale, has room for tires, and has proper racing parts developed for it. E36/E46 are good for that these days.

To give you an idea of costs, turning an F22 in a moderately capable track car can easily cost more than the car new in upgrades (ask me how I know). In comparison, the NASA ST4 national champion car (happens to be an E36; which usually blows past me on the local tracks) recently sold for way less than what you paid for the M235.
