Im thoroughly shocked at the time i guessed somewhere in the 19's

I think the tires and size used used ON the 1LE make the largest difference in that 13 second improvement . they are a full R compound going against a extreme performance street tire not apples to apples. this has always been a bit misleading to me. slap a set of race rubber on the regular ZL1 and I think the times would be much closer. the downforce and weight savings are definite pluses depending on the track more or less so. I look forward to seeing how my regular ZL1 stacks up against the new 1LE in the near future on track. I know that they also use different ( non Magnetic) adjustable dampers and sway bar and camber plates will be an interesting comparison for me.
