It's still the same problem to be solved, just with slightly different details and/or constraints. So I'm a little surprised that the SS 1LE didn't end up closer to the 5th gen Z/28 in this respect - even the LS7 and LT1 torque figures aren't all that much different like they are between the LT1 and the current ZL1. The SS 1LE could have run on 19" rolling stock too, but didn't.
