Well the fact of the matter it is, it wasn't faster. The M8 could've also gone faster if the track wasn't so greasy. You do realize that the Carrera S weighs almost a thousand pounds less than the M8 right? Give credit where it's due, that's a good time.

But M8 is a different purpose car from 911, so unlikely many track enthusiasts will consider buying M8 for track work. While an occasional track day is doable, it remains to be seen if stock M8 can run consistent hard laps without cooking the brakes and the dreaded ‘Drivetrain malfunction’. Again, 4400 lbs GT car wasn’t built for track.
While 911 is a dual purpose machine. It can run hard all day at the track and then comfortably double as daily. First hand experience.
Also, as I wrote above, comparing lap times achieved by different drivers on different days on different tires is meaningless.
