My guess is a Z built as you described would well beyond the mid point between the Z and GTR. You're pretty much talking a full on race car which would probably go for $100k or more.
Not to mention they need to build the car to fit SOME specification. What you described is just a race car that could compete in what? Track days?
A better option would be something more like what Ford did with the Boss 302. A track day car that can still be driven around on the street. Maybe a TT or SC tuned to make 450hp out of the box with an aggressive street/track suspension, interior, and not much in the way of creature comforts. That would be something that they could have priced between the base Z and the GTR.
But when you start talking roll cage, carbon fiber panels, etc... the prices skyrocket.
