New bike? Or new wheels?

I have been riding a Specialized Roubaix for 9 years, and I still love my bike. The problem is I'm falling behind the other riders in my club in the "arms race" so to speak. Many people who I have ridden with for years have upgraded, some more than once, since I bought my bike, and I am having more and more difficulties staying with people I used to regularly lead! I don't particularly want to spend $5000 or more on a new bike, but I'm getting tired of falling off of riders who are not any more fit than I am. So, in the considered opinion of the forum, should I upgrade wheels (I'm still riding the stock wheels from 9 years ago), or bite the bullet and get a new, sleek, light, aerodynamic bike?
