Agreed that watching track videos beforehand helps a lot but maybe ignore the speed overlay and lap time. Keep in mind the fastest times are probably on 40 or 100 treadwear tires so the minimum speeds through the corners will be higher and braking can start later compared to the Camaro's stock higher treadwear tires and the cars may have other track focused modifications too. And those cars probably have a track alignment with more camber than OP so they will be able to corner faster because of that too. And they may be running with traction/stability control off or with it reduced in Competitive mode or in a PTM mode (only available on the SS 1LE and ZL1s) which should give them an acceleration advantage on corner exits if driven properly compared to just being in Track mode.
I would not recommend running a lap timer for a novice's first time out...expect to run slower lap times than those who are very experienced on the best track times thread even if their car is less powerful than yours. Instead focus on being safe and having fun and gradually exploring the limits of the car's cornering and braking abilities after you learn the correct line for the track rather than trying to copy what an expert can do with the car.
