Chevy (or, should I say, GM) was very conservative with the ZLE. Actually, with the Cup 2Rs and carbon-ceramic brakes found in the facelifted CT5 Blackwing Precision Pack, as well as the flat-plane-crank Z06-7 and ZR1-TK Corvettes, the ZLE can lap the 'ring in just a bit under 7 minutes around the 20.6km layout, and just a bit over 7 minutes at the 20.8km mark. Dynamically, it's about the same as a 718 GT4 RS (the same way the Z07 is comparable to a 911 GT3 RS).
It's even faster than the crossplane-crank Z06-7 and ZR1-TK.
