The SS (like my C7) was less sensitive to throttle application but not in a bad way at all - it was just that the Camaro needed more application of the go pedal to get the same sort of response. The difference was very noticeable and I even drove a second SP to see if it was something unique to the first one but it drove identically.

Having put nearly the same amount of miles on a 2015 SRT8 and now my 2SS (just under 10k for the SRT and about 8k on my 2SS now), I completely agree with your assessment. The Challenger has what feels like a 1:1 throttle mapping in track mode while the ECU in the Camaro is always dosing out the throttle opening like we're a bunch of 8-year-olds
Otherwise, Camaro is more of a sports car and the Challenger is more of the classic mid-size muscle car. Both cars are great in their own way, but the Camaro is more my style (both exterior and overall character).
