On my nephew's 2022 LT1, when I engage his e-brake, his brake pedal drops a little and you can hear the actuator kick on - you definitely know the e-brake has been engaged.

Is this normal between models?

Also his clutch feels lighter even though we have the same engine and transmission.

As far as I know SS has the parking brake shoes and drum inside the rotor. Not related at all with hydraulic system.
LT1 has calipers with screwed pistons. The electric motor moves the piston forward and engages the brake pads. In this case the fluid is also moving and you will feel it in the pedal.

They are complete different systems.
