Do you think it sounds better than the Shelby GT350?

It used to be that flat-plane crank engines were a thing you only found on exotic European cars like Ferraris. They make a pretty unique sound some would describe as unearthly. While there’s far more than just that to attract someone to the Shelby GT350, it does make the muscle car sound distinct. This video showing off a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z at Autox Goodguys 37th American Car Show held in Pleasanton, California last year is intriguing because it helps highlight the fact you don’t have to be a Ford guy to enjoy the sounds and performance benefits of a flat-plane crank V8.

That LS7 comes from a Corvette Z06, which even if it weren’t modified would make this IROC-Z quite potent. This build was done by none other than Detroit Speed and is a breath of fresh air. The LS7 has been de-stroked and has the flat-plane crank installed, which you can hear loud and clear once the muscle car starts whipping through the autocross course.
