Well I am working on some data/research that shows up until the very last minute, less then a month before the 89 Pilots started rolling off the line the ZR-1s were going to share the 5100001 Vehicle sequence with the L98s. The zr1 would have only been identified by the 1G1YZ and the J for the engine digit. so 5100056 could have been a ZR-1 and 5100057 an L98. I suspect that when they collapsed the LT5 into a ZR-1 only powertrain that the VIN sequence number changed as well.

Until I have more data I can only tell you I think this happened.
