The differenced between the 3.4 Carrera and the 3.6 Turbo is chalk & cheese and its not just the engine - the whole chassis is wider, the brakes are bigger, the cooling system upgraded, wheels are special, etc, etc.
What you are getting is a completely different car which is reflected by the difference in prices between the two vehicles.
I suspect the turbo is a bit of a steal at the moment with the depressed economy - a good example may even retain its purchase price over the next few years & it would be a lot easier to sell when trade in time comes around too.
