Of course it helps that the 350Z weighs much less than the Camaro but even my Shelby feels as nimble and planted as the 350Z. My GT500 handles better than my Camaro not only because it quite literally does, but because the steering feel, grip, and body roll is a significant improvement over the SS. It also helps that the Shelby doesn't let me slide around in my seat if I take a sharp turn.
Everything I've read about the 1LE has done nothing but praise it over the stock SS. The Stock 2010/11 SS is a pig in the Handling Department, Hench why Chevy got rid of that crap steering wheel (it doesn't work in a car that is meant to handle), and updated the 2012 SS's Suspension Parts.

That quote was his so I am not sure if you are responding to what he said or what I said, I started at "the mustangs". Obviously handling means more than going around the next corner... However the standard SS wasnt built for a track, it's built for the road, Tell me your Shelby takes a pot hole better than the Camaro, cause if you said it does I would just call
and say nothing more.... I am not trying to be rude but the GT500 and grip/handling don't exactly go together. I like the looks and engine in that car but not whats hidden underneath. Regardless that isnt what this is about, SS & GT = road cars with not emmence thought on the track, 1LE GT/trackpack/302 = track in mind much more than the SS & GT. Saying a Camaro handles like a Jeep is like saying a Mosler handles like a Corvette. There is no comparison there... The SS does show it's weight, but it was never trying to hide it, until the 1LE.
