The Turbo S fully spec'd will probably be more than the GT2RS... or close to
Will it out perform it, maybe... will it be as "special" I don't think so

I think your argument is invalid here. GT2RS is a special, limited edition, last of its breed car - thus worth the price tag. The Turbo S is a "normal" production car that doesn't give you the exclusivity or the driving experience of the 2RS.

Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean it isn't over-priced.

2012 Porsche 911 Turbo MSRP: $137,500
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo MSRP: $149,250
Increase in price for 2014: $11,750
Increase in percent over 2012 model: 8.5 percent

2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S MSRP: $160,700
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S MSRP: $182,050
Increase in price for 2014: $21,350
Increase in percent over 2012 model: 13.3 percent

Okay, the new 911 Turbo S price bump is a little hefty, but an 8.5 percent bump for the new 911 Turbo is pretty reasonable, considering it's an all-new model with new technologies.

As for those comparisons, well, they're fun to play around with, but ultimately kind of useless. You're just trying to divide down to the lowest common automotive denominator. Why stop at an XJL Supercharged and a Lotus Elise S? For the price of those cars, you could have an Audi A6 Prestige ($56,950), a Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew ($42,320), a Mazda MX-5 Miata Club ($26,705) and a Hyundai Veloster Turbo ($22,100)?

If you keep dividing the value of a car down into lesser models, you always wind up with a garage full of Scions.

(Also: I love me a Range Rover, but I'd take the 911 Turbo S over that and a GT-R any day of the week. Can't stand me a GT-R.)

Yes you can alway move more and more down the food-chain but the comparisons made are valid.... they are not looking at 8 VW Golfs or 18 hyundais

The 911 Turbo S is the superlative in fastest, most comfortable, daily driver sports car in my opinion. You can argue that for similar money you can get a slightly preowned F car, but it is difficult to drive one of those around every day without attracting the wrong kind of attention. The Turbo S could be your ONLY car, where as anything else with just two seats and more flash would be hard-pressed IMO.
