The Z06 and ZR1 both can achieve well over 1 full G of steady-state lateral forces...the system was a necessary precaution in both of those models to prevent the engine from over-heating and breaking.
In the Camaro...it's unlikely it'll achieve those numbers from the factory, and the LSA has a new Camaro-specific oil pan likely designed (in addition to packaging concerns) for the higher lateral forces the ZL1 can/will achieve compared to the CTS-V. In short -- it probably doesn't "need" it. And that's an expensive system to put in place just because.
