personally I cant tell on the video of it's blueish from oil burning. If it's oil, and it happens more than this one time, you have an oil leak. If it's not blue and it does it more than once... Coolant.

The coolant was also low. I forgot to mention that. I topped it off, the oil was about 2.5qts low. When i changed the oil and put fresh fuel, the smoke was gone, 30 seconds later it came back. It smelled like exhaust personally in person.

What you are seeing is simply condensation inside the exhaust turning into vapor from the heat.

Mod beat me to it.

I assume this is nothing to worry about but can someone explain what is happening to cause this and reassure me that its not harming the car? The car has 399 miles on it.

Are you sure your Z has only 399 miles? Your Z is a 09 model!!!
It looks your looking at the trip meter rather than the odometer of your Z!

Oh Goodness I think you need to make another Thread for this!
"How to find the odometer of your Z"

Ok guys, to update, started the car and all the smoke went away. Engine is completely fine and it was just moisture in the exhaust/catalytic converters.
