The Spyder is a great LMP2 car, but still an LMP2 car. If the rules in the ALMS were fair and square and not dictated by entertainment value, it would never stand a chance against the LMP1 cars.
So it's not in the same league as previous Porsche prototypes. If however, Porsche take this as a training tool for a 2010 P1 coupe, then that might be a totally different thing. But currently it is a car that should never be allowed to fight for the overall win.
