Does the flat plane Vette motor (I guess we may have heard it in the C8R) have the same firing order as Ferrari?

I was hoping the GT350 would sound like an F458, but it sounds nothing like it due to having a totally different firing order.

My technical abilities and memories to explain the difference are not sufficient.... I need to google this.. but basically from what I remember the breathing limitations of the GT350 caused them to create a certain firing order which didn't cause issues for this engine.. but which made it not sound like a flat plane crank exactly.

The C8R seems to be full fat Ferrari.

We can start the count. I’m one. Sold the GT3. C8 next summer. I know of at least two more buddies doing the same. We all may come back but tired of the Porsche games and going to scratch the itch. Bet there are more than you think.

I like American V8 Woofly
I need to go test fit one, it it fits I’ll probably (Depends also on timing, hard to get one now @ MSRP and see what MB or Porsche have for ED next spring) and take it to Sebring to see what’s what.

Do they have one in white? I don't see any.

two new corvettes showed up in my neighborhood. Orange and a yellow. Yellow looked great. Don't care for the rear end. Car looks impressive though.
