Whilst I understand the desire to see the 911 successful, it is important to understand that "prototypes" are "sportscars too."Think of the 906, 908, 910, 917, 936, 956,962 etc,etc. The 911 is in the GT (E) class within the sportscar realm. Porsche has had a tremendous success in both classes. It would be a real shame not to continue their successful  racing heritage.
