The 370z is a GREAT car.
Why would they have Dale Jr. test drive a car that didn't accurately represent an accumulation of their efforts? Think about it, he's only gonna be there a hand full of times tops... So you mind as well give him a car that might have X wrong with it, which he can help with instead of a car with X, Y and Z wrong with it where there is too much for him to focus his efforts.
Plus i find it to be more than a coincidence that the G8 GXP (which rides on the same platform) suffers from body roll enough to make it a problem. I am anxiously waiting on the test from the SS, and really
this is all speculation. But it would shock me to not find 'body roll' written in the test article somewhere.

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."
