I have had 7 LSX cars. Four LS1 F bodies an LS1 Corvette an LS6 Z06 and a LS3 vette. I have modded all my cars and dyno'd every single car and raced every car. That is certainly NOT a normal trap speed for a stock LS1 F body. That is 2001 C5 385hp Z06 territory. The 98-2002 LS1 F bodies generally made around 290-310rwhp and trapped anywhere from 104-108mph usually.
That time you described is either a factory freak or a car with some mods that the owner claimed was "stock" None the less trust me it is not the norm for those cars and to say the cars performance went backwards is simply not true. This new SS is certainly not a lot faster than the 4th gen cars but is it def not slower either.
I had two LS1 powered camaros....
99 z28 @305hp consistent 13.3@104 (no mods unless you consider a K&N n filter with factory intake a mod)
02 SS @ 345hp 12.9 -13.0 consistently. Forget what it trapped as I was only on the track with it one time (two passes). I didn't have a helmet and got booted. I'll try to dig up time slips but this was like 6 years ago. No mods, still even used the factory filter.
The HP kept on going up during the LS1 F-body lifetime. My 02 had an optional SLP intake and exhaust package that yielded the 345hp. Anyway, I can see 12.9 from the factory. You have to remember the last generation was what 400? pounds lighter than the new ones. That will make up for some if not all of the HP difference. I forget the calculation to convert the weight into approx. HP.
