i have heard that noise in a starter before, it wasnt in camaro though. i think the cause was the windings on the inside of the starter motor being dirty. i dont know how the starter was tested but i have seen them test ok until they are under a load. kinda like a battery when it drops a cell. just a thought, hope it helps.

Looks like the battery guage is sitting damn near on "0" that there would not be enough juice to turn it over, the noise/clicking is the starter for sure because there isn't enough to turn it over completely!
It's apparent that it is trying to turn over for sure, just not enough to get a full revolution, It's weak in some way or another. I wouldn't for see the cables causing a problem honestly, but I have seen crazier ****. That's crazy that the battery tested good considering the guage states zero....Put a mulitmeter on the battery and check the true volts.

I've had a bad battery cable do that, I have had a bad solinoid wire do that (key switched power usually a small wire), I have had bad battery cable end connectors do that, and I have also had bad battery grounds do that. Check the voltage at the battery while cranking. it shoud be 11.5 or above on a fresh batt. Then you can Check voltage from the batt neg to the possitive down at the starter with out cranking should be 12.5 or something close, then check voltage from the end of the ground down at the block and the pos down at the starter. should be 12.5 or something close. if those check out then test voltage at the starter possitive while cranking and see if it stays at like 11.5 or above.
