barely... 911... barely larger than half the displacement of the Z06... and the 911 wins! ...always has, always does, always will!

Displacement just describes the nature of the engine (does it have large cylinders / many cylinders or small / few cylinders), not how much (and how desperately) engineers wanted particular engine to have any given amount of horsepower.
For most engines having smaller power / displacement ratio is actually a benefit - it usually means less stressed engine with more headroom for wear, thermals etc.
Sportscars with high emphasis on power and weight ratio are somewhat different, as high power / displacement ratio engines are usually lighter and can be mounted lower / closer to optimal position in chassis. But, as far as I remember, Corvette V8 isn't very heavy. And for Porsche those two turbos, intercoolers, piping etc. also have some weight.
