He was referring to how much more a stock Camaro (new body style) weighs compared to a 370Z.
TBH, the new BMW M3 weights 400lbs more than the Z, yet I'm pretty sure it out-handles the Z, stock for stock.

I'm just gonna say what everyone else has said for a long time:

It's valid to compared stock to stock because it is consistent.

However, when modding plays a role...$$$ is the only limit and is pretty stupid to compare mod vs mod. I could put in $$$ for a K20A engine turbo'd on a stripped CRX chassis and it would probably smoked most cars out there on the road...but then it's not really a CRX. It's a 1000lb chasis on 400HP, gee I wonder why it's quick.
