There's much wrong with that statement. First of all the Z-95 is an older than the ARC-170. Second the Z-95 is a light interceptor kind of ship and the ARC-170 is a heavy superiority Fighter. So newer equals better doesn't apply here. It's like saying my bycicle has to outperform an SR-71 Black Bird, because it was developed later.

And there could be a pletora of reasons, why the Headhunter is still widely in use, while the ARC isn't. Could be that simply based on the fact that the Z-95 was easier to build, there are way more around of those, what would make it way easier to find spare parts for them. Maybe the ARC was never on the privat market and the empire salvaged most of them...
