"Almost a year after it was originally revealed, Nissan has finally put a price tag on the 2008 Fairlady Z 380RS-Competition. But let's not trifle with the cost of ownership yet. As its name implies, the 380RS is a tried-and-true racecar, with a stroked version of the VQ35HR V6. The 3.8-liter mill is producing 350 hp and 321 lb.-ft. of torque, which it sends to a Nismo Super Coppermix clutch and on through to a close-ratio, six-speed gearbox and mechanical LSD. The body meets Super Taikyu regulations, in which it was designed to compete, and comes equipped with new aerodynamic enhancements, a roll cage, six-pot Brembos and the required catalytic converter. Inside, it's all business, with carbon fiber door panels, a Recaro throne, six-point harness and a fire extinguisher. With that out of the way, the price is a cool 28,350,000 yen, or just over $285k USD. Well-funded, privateer teams need only apply."

Oh my. According to this page, the car weighs 1250kg, the same as the 430 Scuderia (talking dry weight). The Scuderia also makes more hp, more torque, actually has two seats, and, more importantly, is street legal to boot. Of course, I'm pretty sure there's a waiting list for one but not the other. 
Let's not even talk about the 430GT (although that one costs significantly more than even this 380RS).
However, I will admit that I would love to slap plates on one of these racetrack variants and take it on the highway.

I don't even think that a new Corvette GT3 costs that much. It's lighter and has 150hp more to boot.
However this car would be interesting for an import GT500-based race series.
