Help regarding engine sound
Hello everyone, I'm very close to buying my first Corvette and even though I've driven and checked a few already I quite haven't got the ear to notice any imperfection on the engine yet, so I wanted to ask you for help or advices if the engine in this video sounds healthy (it sure does to me). Here's the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZIR...ew?usp=sharing
It's a 1992 and as you all probably know with an LT1. Are there any common/known possible faults in this specific powertrain?
Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance, have a great day!

The good. Looks decent. This 92 fires up normal. Has exhaust. Did not see headers.
The bad. Has a fairly significant hesitation clearly noticable quickly tapping the throttle. I'm positive you feel that hesitation.
Sound from rear possible slight valvetrain.
You need to make a vid/ sound clip with a real cam.
Phones typically have noise correction/ cancel. Sounds horrible. Sounds like a 747 turbine underhood.
No way to determine valvetrain issue.
