I posted over a Camaro5.com to try to bring them down to Earth.

The 370z only weighs 3350 lbs and runs on 275 series rear tires (Touring).
The Camaro SS weighs 3900 lbs and runs on 275 series rear tires.
So which car do you think will handle the best? That along with the fact that the 370z is pulling .98 G's - .99 G's on the skid pad pretty much seals the deal.
There's no way the Camaro SS is going to pull those kind on numbers on the skid pad.

Drag strip- Camaro SS > 370Z
Road course- 370Z > Camaro SS

I also read in their forum that the camaro they used was the v6 engine and its not the regular production car. So, when the actual production car is released and use the SS model, maybe the actual skid pad maybe better or the same as the 370z.
