Can anyone help me out. How do the old Contax rf lenses fare against 60s and 70s Leica RF glass. I am thinking of the 85mm Sonnar in particular.

The 2/8.5cm CZJ Sonnar T is certainly a match up to the last non-ASPH APO 2/90 Summicron. THAT lens finally won the day. But, then, it took Leitz more than three decades to equal the 1.5/5cm Sonnar. I believe that the new Summicron beats the pants off both its predecessor and the 1.5/5cm Sonnar, but I cannot say this from my own experience.
