If the Cayman outperformed the 911 it would probably piss all of the guys that buy the 911 for that extra prestige off and steal sales from the 911.

I have no doubt of what you saying. I am also aware that they transfer some 911 technology to the Cayman's. What I'm saying is that if I'll see 10 Porsches (I exclude the Panamera's, Cayenne's etc.) the 8 of them will be 911's. At least in Germany.
These are the sales figures in Europe:
In Germany, I believe the difference is even larger than these stats and similar to what I see every day.
I don't live in US, so I don't have an opinion of what is going there.
