It would be WAY cheaper to buy a regular 370Z, remove the NAV, climate control, etc. and build it exactly to these specs. That's what Nissan did with this car. Nothing special.

This is for the rich guy that decides on Monday that he wants to go race in World Challenge on Friday. There's nothing wrong with that, but all I am saying is you could build the same thing for FAR less.
If your time and your friend's time is worth nothing, and you have convenient access to a shop, and can get in tuning time for free at the local track, sure.
