Zora Arkus Duntov - Champion of the Corvette
A good article in the NY Times, regarding Zora Arkus-Duntov being acknowledged in the land he left.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/24/au....html?_r=2&hpw His internal memo at GM was the catalyst for future performance development within Chevrolet that continues to this day. For Ford fans, he was also the creator of the famous Ardun OHV conversions for Ford flathead V8s. Last edited by LOWDOWN; 06-27-2012 at 09:08 AM. |
