ORIGINAL: aleksandr

The SS's are faster than Z28's. Remember that the fastest stock camaro 1/4 mile time was setby a '02 SS. They run high 12's while Z28's run flat 13s. SS's have a less restrictive exhaust and a better intake. The actual engine is exactly the same though.
You realize that the "fastest" 02 SS could have just left the factory with an abnormally powerful motor right? Not all LS1's produce exactly "350" HP, they have a certain tolerance and range of HP that they produce that is around 350, it could just be that SS has one that was more powerful, that'd be my bet because in normal applications it's been proven that they run the same track times and run similarly on the dyno.

the SS IS slightly better than the Z28. If you match em up year for year id put money on the SS.
