Why overpriced? The 996 GT3 wasn't overpriced compared to an equivalent Carrera with upgrades.
The 997 GT3 seems like a bargain compared to a 997S with X51. In my humble.
The RS doesn't seem more expensive than a 4S over an S.
It all seems to line up. I guess if you think an US$80K+ Carrera S is expensive, then the whole line is expensive.
If you really want to think about an expensive Porsche, look at some of the asking prices on the 993 Turbo S ... !
Cheers,
ps. That car in the photo doesn't seem to quite right (tinted windows? can't see the roll bar, can see the backs of both seats, not contrast painted wheels) but it is a wide body with apparently the correct rear cover.
Then again, maybe this is very close to the US spec car ... groan ... basically delete everything from the RS except the badges ... :|
Thinking about pricing, I wonder what a new RSR will cost?

I disagree especially if you live in the US. The RS will be priced in a bracket very close to the turbo (aprox 122k USD) will have no roll cage, no CF seats, does not come with standard ceramic brakes. What are you paying aprox 15k dollars for? A carbon fibre wing, a 4S widebody, improved rear suspension struts (supposedly), 20 kilos and cool color/wheel combos? Furthermore, it will have a sunroof ?
US Market got screwed.
