The A10 in the ZL1 is ridiculous and you can see how fast he pulls away on the straights but as you mentioned the weight difference hurts on the smaller tighter tracks. That said, you can drive a Miata or BRZ on the small tight tracks with 1/3rd the power and keep up.

You mentioned the SS 1LE "better chassis" a couple times but they actually both use the alpha chassis and both have the FE4 suspension with magnetic ride control so I assume you are just referring to the additional weight of the LT4 engine?
I believe the 1LE has different sway bars and shock tuning. The ZL1 was not designed specifically for the track as the SS1LE and the ZLE. It just feels much more balanced then a ZL1
But that’s my opinion
