Most of the acoustic differences between the new 2023 Z06’s LT6 and Corvettes of old boil down to the layouts of their respective crankshafts. What’s the difference, and which one would walk away with the record deal in an automotive version of The Voice? Let’s get into this with a brief overview of cross vs. flat cranks and a pair of no-nonsense example videos before we head to the polls!
