I'm assuming you have an S. If thats the case then I'm suprised you lost. I bet the camaro was either nicely modded or tuned up. I'm not sure if this TA was a LT1 or LS1 engine. I know the LS1 is the vette engine and it is the stronger of the pair. It was the ragtop TA so that made an already fairly heavy car even heavier and slower. I was giving it everything it had in it too. I didn't shift until 7,200rpm when I did the 2-3 shift.
