The Z06 will whip a ZL1.

Assume 4000 pounds for the ZL1 (SS is 3800 and the ZL1 will definitely be more). Assume 600 horsepower for the ZL1.

That's 4000lb/600hp = 6.67lb/hp

Z06 is 3175lb/505hp = 6.29lb/hp

If the ZL1 only gets 575hp, that's 6.96lb/hp.

A Corvette GS has 7.68 lb/hp. So the ZL1 will be between a GS and a Z06 in a straight line. Either Vette would handle the ZL1 easily on a track though.
