of course it will be a better handling car... people have a warped view of handling based on skidpad and slalom numbers which translate into almost nothing in the real world.
The Z will be sharp, very sharp. It will handle very well and easily be the better of the two, BUT in the real world.... the difference will probably be so subtle that the only real trouble the Camaro will have is body roll and that extra 450lbs
let me ask you something... how would you say your GTO handles?

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
