RE: What to do to beat a 2000 stock 6spd camaro SS?
I think your biggest bottleneck is your tranny. If I had an auto car, first I would try to swap my AODE for a 4R70W, but I digress:
-Shift-kit
-Tuner to modify shift points
-Stall converter
-Trans cooler with fan on thermal switch
In the racing or even street world a "well-built" automatic will pwn a manual. There will be some on here that disagree, but maybe one of the reasons is NE owners NEVER seem to touch the tranny which is a huge mistake. Automatics multiply torque off the line within the first few feet of the launch with the converter. Its easy to hold a stalled auto still. An auto with a shift kit will hit the gears faster then any short-shifted manual unless Chuck Norris is driving. Plus, when well built and maintained an auto can be ALOT stronger and more durable then a manual. If anyone on here doesnt believe me and thinks thier 3650 is gods gift, go find an old-schooler with a 400HP 64-72 ish car with a well built shift-kitted automatic and take a ride. BTW; wear a neck brace.

Equal drivers a Full Bolt-on 99+ GT will still lose to a bone stock M6 LS1.
You will need giggle gas or a supercharger to assure a win in non perfect conditions/driver abilities.
