Default GTO vs. New Camaro SS

I was drivin on the highway and seen a new camaro a little ways up, so I punched it and caught up to find it was actually an SS... and a manual-suprising in MN. We hit a stoplight and I asked if he had any mods, which was a tune (409rwhp). My Stalled H/C GTO dyno'd at 390/360. I was thinkin he was gonna embar...*** me but Ill run anything. We did a 40 roll and I pulled very slowly all the way to 95/100ish. Does this sound right? I tried to watch him to see if he was a joke behind the wheel (because I am)... and he seemed to be shifting pretty well. I dont know much about them and was wondering if this was a fluke, or if i should be looking for them thanks

what year is your gto? LS2?? anyways sounds about right, those cars weigh almost 150lbs more than yours and 200lbs more in automatic form and i imagine you have the aerodynamics advantage as well!

I think that's an unusual result. I thought these camaros were low13s high 12s cars at 110+mph. I wouldn't expect a mid 13 second GTO to be the faster car.

^^^I have never been to the track... but having about 90whp more than stock and a stall... I dont think I would be in the mid 13's...? Not arguing, just not really sure if i believe the above reasoning...

yeah, sounds about right. i pulled one pretty hard on the highway after my cam, and i put down 390/388 on the dyno. i knew u couldnt be an ls2 goat with H/C and put down only 390. anyway, good kill op.
