The car comes with essentially the same diff. set-up as the 426 hp 1LE, but lighter-duty to the heavier (that weight thing) ZL1 set-up.
For rolling-start road racing (THE environment the car was designed-built for), the rear diff. is just fine. But putting 305+ slicks on it, and trying redline launches repeatedly (like some ham-footed folks will do) will likely lead to some mechanical mayhem...
If your intended application is steady use as a strip-tripper, invest in some ZL1 parts, or try the aftermarket.
Try telling the dealer "I only drive it EASY" when the rubber bits are caked in the rear wheelwells...and things are clangin' out back...
