Default LS1 Camaros Ever Competitive in Racing?

Hi,

I came across some old videos the other day from some late 90's Motorola Cup racing which featured amongst other cars, very dominating LS1 Firebirds.

They were always either winning or contenders to win. There were a few Camaros too, but they were upper midpack at best.

My questions is this: Have the late 4th gen Camaros been competitive/victorious in any official, street-based racing? If so, does anyone have pics or video?

Thanks!

PS. For anyone interested; here is an opening link for some of the LS1 Firebird action I mentioned.

In Grand Am Continental Tire it seems the Camaro's are competitive yet they were third in manufact. points behind Porsche and BMW and just ahead of the Ford Mustang's.

Thanks! If anyone knows of anything else, please post.

Also, any pics/video of stock-based 4th Gen Camaros on track would be much appreciated.
