You have a very nice car, but your numbers are a little skewed. You left off the install cost of the supercharger, and the cost of the necessary hood. You also quoted MSRP for a ZR1, but real world pricing for your Z06.
I would reasonably say it cost $2,000 for the supercharger install and $2,000 for a painted/installed hood. The cost to reproduce your car's performance is roughly $75,000 at the low end.
A 1ZR ZR1 costs $97,000 currently.

ZR1 brakes will run you about ~$8,000-$10,000 to install on a z06. A high quality wheel that will clear the brakes are probably $3,000 (CCW, OEM's).
That leaves approximately a $8-10k difference in the cars. If you plan to keep either car for a significant amount of time or put a higher than average number of miles on either one, your blown LS7 will have a major and costly engine failure far before the LS9 will.
