Make sure you look at the GCR. A full tube frame would kick the car out of IT where I race and into production. However, in production the rules are very specific for how the frame must be constructed and you'll need to get with a production frame builder to get the tips on how to do it right if you want the car to be competitive. No sense in building a non-competitive car!
I did just notice that VIR Collection has their 240z Prod car up for sale - looks very nice and it can turn 2:10s at VIR, a decent laptime for the North course. Price was right at $20k and it could not be built for that.
Another thought - if you are building a turb frame car and mimic what goes on in production you won't need the 240 at all - frame is built, panels are laid up, you may only need the floor pan - I'm not sure as I am not a production guy but for sure you could get away with a whole lot less than a entire car.
