The Z06 has a 7.0L engine that makes 500 hp. Don't get me wrong I love the power these engines make, but the way they make it matters a lot too. German Engineering <3
Im a huge german car fan, but you cant say that any german car is engineered much better then the new CTS-V, even if you ignore the fact that the V destroys almost all german sports cars (except for the rare gt2 or turbo) its got an unbelievable engine in it, bmw could learn a thing or two about putting torque in cars like all the gm super cars have now.

Quite Frankly the M3 has pretty pathetic amounts of torque, something like 310 lbs max.
The V makes 400 in idle, and 550 when revving, thatll tear your face off.
