3. Its own gearset to maximize all 6 gears [who cares about 1-2mpg loss on a track focused car]
4. Lightweight Racing seats to offset some of the weight added by the seam welds.
5. A more aesthetically pleasing lightweight bodykit that added "significant" downforce.
40-45k for this I believe people would easily pay. I mean they are paying that for the 370z Nismo as it stands and getting way less than the above.

As far as a light weight body kits. The new corvette is all fiberglass. The Corvette z06 and zr1 are made of carbon fiber for obvious reasons. Nissan should have thought about doing something similar.
