I would assume tires, brakes, and fluids to be on par with the Cup car. In other words, expensive. On the other hand, rebuilds for the engine and transmission won't be nearly as frequent or as expensive. In other words, much cheaper.
So, your running cost for the weekend will be about the same as a Cup, but your annual maintenance cost will be much less.

I build pretty much the same car last year - though I run 19" rubber (255/650 fr and 305/590 rear Pirellis). The cage design/interior is 99% the same with my car - looks like they borrowed most of the development ideas from the aftermarket shops...
My running costs I don't image are too dissimilar from a Cup on an individual day (consumables + support + race fuel + towage etc.), but annual maintenance is a lot better. Had some problems getting the 9A1 100% reliable, but these seem to be behind us now.

All it takes to make this car just as cheap to maintain as the street GT4 is a set of pilot sport cup tires, as opposed to race slicks. Obviously you couldn't drive it to the track though.

But like you said, engine and transmissions will be less frequent and and less expensive.
What really make this interesting is how it will feel to the driver on track.
Im thinking like a glove.

At $165K VS 110K Euro, you better buy it in Europe, race it there a season and learn all there is to know close to the factory and then ship it to the US and run it there.
