It already sux that the L99 dyno's 40-50 whp less then a LS3 which = 75 hp difference at the crank, way more then the advertised 26 hp difference. Now there's a even more 30-40 whp difference between the L99 and G8 GT.

I not trying to bash the L99 but its a hard sell because of the huge difference in power.
There is no reason why an L99 Camaro should lose to a lightly modded G8 GT, unless its one of the slow L99s. But if its running as it should, the Camaro starts off with 40 more hp and about 100 lbs less. It also has a 3.27 gear rather than a 2.93.
