Hang on, a 911 is a flawed design. the cayman is not. the cayman had to be held back so as not to "outperform' the 911. people are buying the 911 based on history and image and the nodding admiration they will get by morons who do not know about the car but the porsche name is enough for them. If porsche put the 911 engine in the cayman it would be lights out for vthe 911 and porsche knows that. cayamn is not really a downgrade that is what illl informed 911 owners would say because their ego can not accept otherwise.
