Is the 911 nearing the end of it's comptetitive racing days?

Just finished the article in this months excellence about the 2008 season, with the underlying tone being that the 911/997 platform was reaching the very end of it's rope in terms of development in today's racing environment. Other teams are pumping money and R/D into their platforms, while Porsche is focusing on the Spyder and with the 911/997 it's business as usual. What is possible to do to this car under present AMLS rules in order to keep it competitive with Ferrari? Whatever happened to selling cars by winning races????? If Porsche were 'old' Porsche, they would have already developed the Cayman into the dominant race car that i has the potential to be, and i guarantee that they wouldn't be able to keep Caymans in the showroom. Instead, they have counted on minimally refining the 997 RSR with the arrogant attitude that it will just keep on winning. The Cayman would rock as a race car... Jurgen Alzen and Mspeed have already shown it's potential. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8137ufJbzR0
