A 991 has much higher limits than an m3 (i.e. m3 at 10/10 = 991 at 8/10)and the 991 is so easy to drive fast you'd surely be faster on the track over an m3 and you don't need to worry about changing pads or anything before going like you need to the m3. Some people don't see that huge unmistakable difference out of the box.

That's the inherent problem of "test drives". Most people aren't cornering hard on a test drive let alone at the limits with DSC off. Even as a decently capable driver, I wouldn't do it on public roads in a car that's not mine. Most people judge a car's performance based on magazine/internet reviews along with how fast the car feels with their butt dyno, the sounds it makes, and maybe the steering feel (which really doesn't have much to do with the car's performance either). I think if a capable driver test drove a stock M3 and a 911 both on a racetrack, most would pick the 911 as the better performing car. On a street test drive, I can see the M3 being favored.
