The GT3 is a stripped-out 997... and it costs more than the regular 911
Yep, and so is the CSL and 360CS.

Stripped out versions are always more expensive
nope, think about the previous Renault Clio Ragnotti (or was it the cup version). It had no aircon, less soundproofing and thinner glass windows. And Renault charged you about 800 euro's (estimate) less for it.
True - but we are talking about a car which takes engineering to reduce weight. Titanium connecting rods, 1-piece trackworthy wheels and a tailor made aero kit arent things to be given away
Yep its not just a stripped out version, its engineering perfection 8)
