I think Porsche has been pricing the GT2 wrong, and they continue to price it wrong.
The GT2 is not 100K more expensive car than the Turbo. It should be priced close to the Turbo, and they will sell a lot more of them.
The secondary market obviously agrees with me, as the premium that the GT2 has over Turbo is quite small.

I agree 100% - it's a totally different buyer for the GT2 and Turbo (though I'm sure some Turbo owners would "reach" for a GT2 now if they could afford it). It's a similar thing to the Carrera 4S buyer and a GT3 buyer. Similar pricing, totally different car. Personally, I like to get the sportiest version of whatever I can buy. My base Cayman has been the exception to the rule. That said, if I could afford a GT2, I'd buy one.
At best, my 42K mile GT2 is worth 55K on a good day, but the buyout is close to 90K!?!?!
They are hovering around 70 to 80 for a driver's car with less than 30K miles, and over 100K for cars with less than 5K miles.

I love the color you put on the wheels. Don't like the rs logo on the spoiler though.

Porsches are pretty exclusive already. We are a jaded bunch, but Porsches are not at all common. To me, Porsche can keep their "exclusive" tag on cars like the Carrera GT. Price and sell the GT2 around $150K (like a GT3 RS), and I'd buy one. $200K is just too much...

+1 wtf? That would be on the verge on undriveable with another 50ponies... The 911 GT2 wasn't named 'the widowmaker' for nothing, this will be nuts.
