It used to be that an inline four-cylinder was just slightly more powerful than a lawnmower, but modern performance technology, as well as super and turbocharging, has made them formidable engines. In fact, there are some high-output I-4s that rival V-6s and even V-8s, both in horsepower and torque. Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Chevy has built the most powerful American production V8—and brought back an iconic bit of Corvette design—for the latest King of the Hill. We’ve seen glimpses of it. We’ve heard it. Now Chevrolet has revealed the 2025 Corvette ZR1, and it’s somehow even wilder than we expected. The top dog of the C8 Corvette lineup breaks new ground for the iconic American sports car, exceeding the 1,000 mark in three ways as it puts the world’s supercars on notice.

Corvette E-Ray A four-figure horsepower number isn’t the exclusive province of sketchy tuner cars anymore; there are a handful of warrantied engines and electric motor arrays making over a thousand horsepower, but mostly they do it in cars that weigh as much as a full-size pickup or more. The new ZR1 weighs 3670 pounds in coupe form and 3758 pounds in convertible form, which is within around 100 pounds of a Porsche 911 Turbo S. This powerplant is going to live in a relatively lightweight car, built by some of the best chassis engineers on the planet.

The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is the base model in the model's lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about it.

That kind of power can rocket the rear-drive coupe to 60 mph from a stop in only 4.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 182 mph.
