Is It 1970, All Over Again?
 It’s a much agreed upon statement that 1970 was the high watermark for the muscle car era. GM, Chrysler, Ford, and even AMC had some pretty stout performance cars with a lot of red meat left in them for racers and speed freaks to extract. Most of us are [...]]]></description>

163-MPH in a rickety ‘54 Corvette on skinny tires!
The next time you blip the throttle of your fire breathing Vette or have some spirited driving fun with an onramp, say a quiet little “Thank you” to the man who made it all possible. Just a few words; “Thanks Zora!” or “Thanks you, Mr. Duntov!” Not [...]]]></description>

When we left off, Duntov, the wild Russian, smoked GM’s Phoenix  test track with a 163-mph blast with his ‘54 mule Corvette outfitted with a enhanced  prototype 265-CID small-block Chevy engine, fitted with what would become his  famous “Duntov Cam.” The greenlight for Daytona was on!
A month before the big event, in [...]]]></description>

The Ugly Duckling Becomes a Warbird!
When we left off, Duntov had just scooped up speed records on the  wet sands of Daytona beach in Winter of ‘56. After an excellent first serious racing  effort at Sebring, Zora felt that it was time to take on Le Mans with an exotic  tube frame [...]]]></description>

When we left off, the chassis from  Duntov’s ugly duckling mule SS Corvette racer had risen from the ashes to become Bill Mitchell’s classic  Stingray Racer. The Mitchell/Duntov team was truly a symbiotic relationship, in  that had Bill Mitchell not asserted himself [...]]]></description>

Corvettes Gain the Upper Hand!
When we left off, Zora’s Z06 racer kit had the rug pulled out from under it. Too bad the Z06 had to race in the same class as the Cobras. After all, the Cobras weighed over 1,000 less than the Vettes. How would any Corvette overcome than kind of disadvantage?

Zora’s Post Corvette Years – Not Many Toys

Low-Temperature Viscosity &#8211; Brookfield Viscosity Test (ASTM D-2983)
As temperature decreases, the viscosity of oil increases. Gear lubricants with high viscosity at cold temperatures are less efficient, and the gears require more energy to turn.
