That looks like a track car kind of thing. You'd need to dismantle a perfectly good Z06 or track down all of the parts needed for the swap including motor, front and rear suspension, brakes, fuel tank and what they list as "misc. smaller parts". Then it would include an assload of fabrication. In the end you'd have a fast little car but it would still have the build quality of a kit car and driveability and reliability might be a nightmare. I'm sure people who own/build those things keep them on the track most of the time. If it were my money I'd just buy a C5/C6 or a used 911 or something.
