The plus side is that the aftermarket for those engines is enormous, making it cheap to up the power a lot. In terms of dollars spent to reach a given time in the 1/4 mile, go with the Chevy over the Z. But it will never have the finesse and handling the Z does.
The reviews of the new SS have all praised its handling. Pretty much every magazine is pulling upwards of 0.98 G's. That's really impressive.

The first few paragraphs of Edmunds review get into its handling.
