7 Facts About Zora Arkus-Duntov, The Father Of The Corvette - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While Republicans found a way to blame immigrants for making traffic worse, today we're going to remember one who made driving much better. That would be Zora Arkus-Duntov, best known for helping transform the Chevrolet Corvette from a boulevard cruiser into America's homegrown supercar. Yet despite his indelible connection with American muscle, Arkus-Duntov was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1909, grew up in Russia, and spent his early adult years in Europe during the time leading up to World Wa
13,000-Mile 1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z For Sale With A 5.7 V8 Is Pure Nostalgia Fuel - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reagan was president, greed was good, and pants looked like they were made from parachutes way back in the 1980s. But that was also the same decade that the Chevy Camaro IROC-Z became an absolute icon. Inspired by the International Race of Champions, the IROC-Z was at the top of the Camaro food chain from 1985 to 1990 — although its inability to outrun the Mustang GT must have been hard to swallow. Still, those with a hunger for a remarkable Radwood-era muscle car may want to visit Streetside Cl
It Took A Crane And Several Cemetery Plots To Bury A Man Inside His Chevrolet Corvette - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The C4 Chevrolet Corvette — in production from 1984 to 1992 — has a bit of a mixed reputation among enthusiasts. For instance, when we ranked every Corvette generation in 2022, the C4 got votes for being both the best and the worst of the family. Of course, we know what camp George Swanson was in: When he passed away in 1994, he was buried, per his request, in his white 1984 Chevrolet Corvette. According to a statement from his lawyer, originally for the Associated Press, "George wanted to go ou
The Ford Fathom Furthers FoMoCo's Fascination With Alliterative Names - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Folks with an eye for history — and an ear for alliteration — probably thought "Fathom" was a fine fit for Ford's first truck built on a dedicated EV platform. After all, many of the brand's past vehicles have been brought to you by the letter "F", and at one point, the Ford Motor Co. even tried the alliteration trick with the Mercury division. When the company rolled out its so-called F strategy in the early 2000s — with cars like the Ford Five Hundred — it also premiered rides like the Mercury
These Fun New Cars All Have 3-Cylinder Engines - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three-cylinder engines have their pros and cons, but a lot depends on how they're used. Thanks to advances in turbocharging, for example, some of these tiny mills can make more horsepower than motors with twice as many cylinders. That means you can enjoy downright brisk acceleration in certain three-cylinder rides — not that pure speed always matters: remember the old saying that you can have more fun driving a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow. With that in mind, we've come up with a c
