I'm guessing the e-diff accounts for ~.6 seconds. C&D did a test with a Lexus RC F with and without e-diff and had a 1:18.7 vs. 1:19.1 laptime difference.

Because the ZL1 is not an SS. When a car is heavier, it needs a stiffer suspension to be 'right'. Plus, the ZL1 1LE suspension was designed to work in concert with all the aerodynamic downforce that the ZL1 1LE generates. Again, that calls for a stiffer suspension.
The ZL1 1LE suspension is neither inferior nor superior. Its different. It was designed for a different purpose than the SS suspension and is better at different things, but worse at others.
And Milford probably isn't a special case. It was designed explicitly to be a good proxy for a variety of tracks.
