60k seem like a ball park for pricing for this? Regular gt350 is 52k msrp I think.

I think that's probably a little low. $65-70 base is probably closer to being right. Those carbon fiber wheels probably cost $8000 by themselves.

What he said. I'm thinking at least Z/28 money.

I wouldn't - it makes no sense compared to an M3 or M4. Ultra-hardcore, rougher, etc, etc. It's cool but it's still a track car, not a daily driver, even if you keep the A/C and such.

I still think it could be a very fun car, though, and I would love to drive one. We're talking 3600 lbs, 540 hp (give or take), exotic V8, track-ready everything and pretty wild aero work. How is that NOT going to be fun?!?!

The mag ride MIGHT make it able to be driven more often on the street, if you can keep from scraping the low aero bits off of it.

I would take the non 'R' variant GT350 over the current M3 having driven neither. This is the V8 the E9X M3 should have had. The 350R should be more akin to the LS Boss 302, but better.

I agree that the GT350 is a better comparison. I haven't even sat in a new Mustang, much less a GT350, and that's actually what would sell me on that car (a decent interior, since the last generation was truly horrible). Everything is is pretty equal to the M3, except possibly looks, and that's offset by price.
