In fact it actually shows the 0-60 and 1/4 mile slower for the LT1 with a limited top speed of 149 mph vs 180 mph for the SS.
One thing that might help the LT1 is GM list that the LT1 is limited to a top speed of 149mph. While this shouldn't apply to street use..LOL, it could have some effect on a reduced rate.
Here a link by the way to the factory brochure, good information for the model year.

I agree.. Let's see some pictures!

LT1s come with a free winter setup. Give me a stock LT1 with SS rear tires and with the same driver and the SS WILL be slower. It is just science.
Or better yet anyone, bring your M6 SS whatever with a CAI and DRs to Atco in July and let us see how it goes. Or I can lend you my DRs and you run first, then we can see what the LT1 has to beat.

Chevrolet always has lower statistics compared to actual tests. Proper car reviews have gotten camaros to go quicker than the automaker's claim. People have achieved 4 seconds flat and lower with the 10 speed in stock LT1s, even on 245s. I'm not entirely sure if it is faster/quicker though, it should be on par without changing the tires.
But, the top speed thing is spot on with it being limited to 149/150 mph. If anyone goes higher in this car, then they have more than likely removed the speed limiter. Even though I wouldn't be too surprised as some people have claimed to go over the drag limit (180+) on the SS.
