The first 0-60 numbers we got from one of the testers at GM was 4.9 sec 0-60 from the manual and 4.7 0-60 from the auto. He did say the auto had an aggressive tune. Later on once the car was released to Car mags, they all got mixed 0-60 numbers from the manuals given to them (no auto's were given) some got 4.9, some got 5.0, one got 4.6.. In other words it was all over the place.. Now we are getting real world numbers from actual Camaro owners and it seems there are fewer automatic SS people getting 4.7 than those getting over 5.. Now at this point, it may be the break in period or that some engines are simply faster than others as is possible. If there is a problem with some of the early builds and a flash is required for a more aggressive tune, then it should fall under warranty repair if indeed newer models built have a different program running the auto trans.. I would suspect that all of them should be able to run a 4.7 0-60 at the most and perhaps a 4.9 at the least if you get a slower L99.. I believe something is wrong if you are getting 5.5 second 0-60's with your L99 and getting beat by an older stock Mustang GT..
