First, welcome to lateral-g. Like you mentioned, the question is very broad, I will give you my perspective.
Building a pro-touring car is not something you toss around like choosing between hash browns or home fries with your Sunday breakfast. It's a hobby plain and simple. You have to have a stomach for late nights, bloody hands and a very patient spouse willing to put off buying that vacation house.
Most if not all of the guys here are gear heads plain and simple. They live eat and breath building the ultimate car.
You said that you didn't want to get extravagant with your build yet you want to buy the baddest production vehicle GM ever made? That doesn't make sense. Also, If you think your buying a new Z06 for $60k your dreaming. My brother just bought one for a little under $90k out the door. $60k will get you a low miles rental or used lease car.
Since you already have the body I suggest you sit down and seriously think about the amount time to build the car or the amount of money it will cost you for someone else to build it for you.
It sounds like you have the itch for a trick muscle car, find a builder on this site and give them a call. They will help put this into some perspective.
Good luck with your decision.
Rich
