The chassis being used as the basis for the car -the F3 Americas chassis-itself costs about $99,000 USD, which comes to $135,000 AUD at current exchange rate. I highly doubt a stock block engine that will be producing less than 600 horsepower is likely to double that cost, but the chassis will need some revisions to fit the engine and make the whole thing work with the massive rear tires, so it's cost will likely be a bit higher than the base F3 car.
So unless the changes to the chassis requires a MASSIVE overhaul to make the engine and fatter rear tires work, I think $300,000 AUD for a ready to run car is a reasonable expectation. That might even be a bit of a high estimate.
