The road-racing aero bits are likely part of the extra drag I'd agree. But also adding to the increase in drag over the normal ZL1 are the 305 front/325 rear tires (instead of 285f/305r).
As far as the 190 theoretical top speed that has been mentioned, I doubt it. There was a speed test running for 2.7 miles, and the ZLE only reached 178 and change. That was a measured speed, don't know what the speedometer was reading.
