How does this engine sound in the mid engine Vette?

This is the first I’ve heard with it under full power and it sounds exotic.

I stopped the video in a couple of sections where the car turned broadside with good lighting on it. That thing looks amazing so far. Cant wait to see the production model and full unclouded pics.

Flat crank makes that exhaust. I wonder that if 7th gen Camaro would get that flat crank engine.

What is the advantage of a flat plane crank?

You don't need to have counterweights on the crankshaft, so its lighter, which makes it more responsive and can hit higher rpms. However, its not as smooth as more typical crossplane so vibrations can get unwieldy if the displacement is too large.
