Furthermore I had the opportunity to run side by side with one in my stock Z from high 2nd through 4th gear...not as impressive as I expected.
Why not? 0-60 in 4.2 s, 1/4 mile in 12.6 s, 0.98g skidpad, 71.4 mph slalom. Would a viper, 911, or vanquish be able to best those numbers?

How do you know that M3 you ran with was at full throttle? They have 80 hp more, and are faster in both 0-60 and 1.4 mile by a margin.
