'01 SS vs. '03 C5.....camaro won
I have a pretty much stock '01 SS with the only mods of SLP headers, y-pipe and loudmouth exhaust, along with a lid and bellow. I went up against a '03 vette and beat him, is this a normal thing? Because I though the vettes were supposed to be faster.

Actually the Camaro and Corvette run very similar times in straight line performance. Anything that involves turning the Advantage goes the Corvette, very quickly... Good Kill BTW.

I wouldnt say pretty much stock..you have a full exhaust and lid...LTs add alot of power...C5's are generally only a few tenths faster stock...totally normal

Re: '01 SS vs. '03 C5.....camaro won
The slight changes over the later years of the LS1 really upped the average dyno numbers fairly significantly. There are alot of M6 01-02 SSs and WS6s especially that put down in the 310-320+rwhp range bone dead stock. Kinda ridiculous, lol... Of course those in the 320+ rwhp range probably all have the SLP options, which I think were a lid and catback...

hope over to ls1tech.com they have a dyno section and some of the stock '01 '02 numbers are crazy (320whp). Some with Lid, LT's, x-pipe and tuning are getting a little over 350whp. Mine with lid and catback might get me around 310whp.
