Maybe due to a few things... the 5th gen in your sig was modified with more power than the ZLE right? The 5th gen doesn't have the ZLE aero which slows it some on straights. Last, did you add some 100 octane? At track I always add ~4 gallons per tank because I've heard a ZL1 on straight 91 makes about 25+ less HP than 93, I think Janetty confirmed this. Assuming same good driver back to back, a stock 2018 ZLE is several seconds faster than a stock 5th gen ZL1 on any track I've been on.
If you tune the ZLE on Flexfuel I'm sure you'll be happy with the results--it'll go from a scary beast to an insane beast.
You got lucky on Sunday, it was the only day it hasn't rained in several days right? I took my ZLE out for a nice drive on Mullholland and it started raining later :-)
