Seems to me that the "heritage" of racing is endangered with the current 911. If you saw the race this past weekend, the GT3RS won its first race of the year here in the Rolex at Mid Ohio, but likely due to the rain and a number of accidents to others, e.g., Speedsource RX-8s and the Pontiac GTRs (which are unfairly IMHO in GT since they are tube frames and not street cars). When the new M3 hits the circuit, watch out. I don't expect Porsche to give up, but there is an argument for the Cayman to be here with the 3.6 or 3.8 engine. Sure there is a problem with the Pirrellis, but clearly a mid engined car would own this series in GT. But, it will be oh so hard for Porsche to give up on its "cash cow" and likely they won't do it until they a completely trounced by the others. The mere fact that they won't support privateers says that they know the Cayman is capable of beating the 911s if properly set up.
