My training information only goes up to 2021, so I don't know what the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will have or how it will work.

But it's important to remember that flat-plane crankshafts have been used in the past in many high-performance engines,

like those in sports cars like the Corvette.

Flat-plane crankshafts let the cylinders fire at more even times and can make the engine sound more aggressive and unique.

Also, they can improve the balance of the engine and reduce vibrations, which can help the car handle and perform better.

If the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 does have a flat-plane crankshaft, it will likely add to the car's reputation as a high-performance sports car.
