EDIT after watching the vids: Doesn't sound like it. The engineers in Savagegeese's video talk about not changing the stampings because "accountants suck" (paraphrased) and the R&T article says "The windshield, floorpan, and firewall are all pretty much carryover as are the suspension design and most dimensions." So it's still a wet noodle, but they've "tuned it" to be better. So ... for $20k more money you get $5k more in the "suspension pack."

Bottom line, for ZL1 money you can buy a car that's still worse than a 1SS 1LE on the track. And pretty soon it will be the only game in town. Hold onto your 6th gen Camaros boys-n-girls. They're about to get just that much more valuable.
For the majority that's fine as most won't even track their cars. These are going to sell like hotcakes regardless how they perform.
