Turbo Vs. Longhood / RSR / Backdate Values

This is a value question I have wondered about for a while. And after the semi heated debate on the 88 Turbo it raised the thought again. So I thought it would be a good time to ask.

I see nice Turbo cars getting beat down on value. People claim its a $80k car because headers are on it, or a repaint, or whatever. But someone takes a basic 80's 911, does a backdate RSR build with some modifications, a "My Little Pony" color scheme, basket weave leather (ooohhh ahhh basket weave ) and people don't have an issue with $150k, $200k, I've even seen $300k ask for these cars. WTF?

Why do you think people put a low value on a factory Turbo car, in any condition, compared to a RSR or Singer style clone car? Real Singers are excluded from this.
