I myself have not driven an M5 competition, but I can compare the CS to my ‘18 base M5 First Edition, and the CS blows the base M5 out of the water.
Car and Driver was able to get a CS from 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 10.5 seconds. To compare, I believe the 0-60 time for an M5 comp was 2.7 seconds (also ridiculously fast), with a quarter mile time of 10.8 seconds.
Here’s the link to the Car and Driver article. I think it says the CS is not any faster to 60mph than an M5 comp, but it clearly lists the CS as 0.1 seconds faster, so not sure if the “isn’t any faster” is an oversight?

Evo's ranking has nothing to do with 0-60 times, it's not a drag race ranking. If the CS is a "massive" improvement it's most likely for its driving dynamics as cars seems to be evaluated on small twisty bumpy roads, straight line performance is most likely not weighting much in the verdict.
