'04 GT3 vs. '04 GT2

I don't want to get of on a rant here, but...

The base price difference between these two cars is $90,000+. How & why does Porsche still justify this price differential? Come to think of it, how does Porsche justify their pricing across their the 996 model range; do they see Porsche owners as "suckers"? The GT3 is good value for the money, relatively speaking, but I would never spend $75k on C2.

Why not get a Corvette Z06 then? Half the price of the GT3 at close to the same perf. Everything is relative.

Yeah, it seems like the realistic selling price for the GT2 is somewhere in the $140K range. What they are asking, and what they are getting are 2 different things. It seems the price is similar to a 911 TT X50 package but just caters to different buyers.
