my rpi scoops must have given me an easy 1000 hp at those speeds.

I'm sorry, but again, I don't think so. I know from personal experience from owning both. I don't doubt what you say, but I don't think he was really trying or he was in the wrong gear.
But assuming not everyone has driven both, you still just have to look at the numbers. The C5 Z06 weighs ~400 lighter, has 100 that is ONE HUNDRED MORE pounds feet of TQ and is behind by only 10 - 15 hp to the M3.
