We know that is not really true because the ZL1, at the very least, has different front brakes than the SS 1LE.
SS 1LE and ZL1 have different spring rates and MRC programming to account for the weight difference. Quite a bit of time is spent in computer models and on the Nurburgring to determine a chassis setup, so it's not as simple as throwing a bunch of ZL1 parts on an SS 1LE or vice versa.


The ZL1 rear brakes are different as well with bigger pistons and rotors. According to Chevrolet they have the same braking performance, wonder how good the SS 1LE would be with ZL1 brakes.
