I don't know what test showed the M5 with the faster lap times than a Z06.... but I'm pretty sure the new 08 Z06 will lay down much quicker times now. So the new M5 should actually be compared to the new Vette, which is faster than before.

Curiously I have seen tests of the Z06 that differed greatly.... it was just ok on one test but was fantastic on another... so much so that the article has to comment on it, that perhaps something was amiss in the first one. I don't remember where I read that but I did somewhere.

BTW, the fact that the M5 is a sedan makes it more amazing in what it can do... but that doesn't make it better than a 'sports car' imo. ;)
