Of course the 911 is a great car. But it beating a C7 that's half it's price with a panel of biased judges isn't exactly a strong pedestal. The Z06 will demolish non GT 991's and likely outperform the GT3 and be darn close to Turbos all for 50% less or greater.
I love the 991S and have driven a few myself. I've driven the C7 too and don't find it quite as engaging. But taking price into consideration, Porsche should be concerned. In my opinion this is forcing their hand to up the power in the better driving Cayman.

You completely disregarded the fact that they also unanimously picked it over the Ferrari too which costs what 4 times more.
The Z06 may be 'faster' but it sure won't have the precision, feel and the pure factor of being a connected car as a 991S, let alone a GT3. Just like how time and time again, both the cayman and GT3 would beat the z06 despite being slower because in every other factor they simply outdid the z06. Or even when they ranked the best handling cars under 100K and the z06 came in 6th place out of 7 cars whereas the Boxster Spyder was #1. ZR1 also lost handily to a Cayman S PDK years ago. They all say a lot. And the results wont be any different this time around because for as far as Chevy has come, Porsche has only moved the bar that much higher with the 991.
