5th-Gen Camaro was on an old platform. The 6th-Gen version rides on a new platform which is much lighter and provides much better dynamics than the old platform.

In many cases, the 6th-Gen version of a given trim level matches or outshines its 5th-Gen equivalent.

For instance, the 6th-Gen SS handles about as well as the 5th-Gen SS 1LE, the 6th-Gen SS 1LE handles about as well as the 5th-Gen Z/28, the 6th-Gen ZL1 outshines both the 5th-Gen Z/28 and ZL1, especially when the optional 1LE package is added. There is no 6th-Gen Z/28 as yet.

Here's Motor Trend's take on the 6th-Gen Camaro ZL1 1LE when they tested it for their annual Best Driver's Car competition: http://www.motortrend.com/news/chevrolet-camaro-zl1-1le-4th-place-2017-best-drivers-car/
