duPont REGISTRY July 2024

It's July when the USA celebrates the country's independence. While we won’t delve into a history lesson about the Declaration of Independence, we at duPont REGISTRY will introduce you to something that could have benefited Paul Revere in his midnight ride: the 2024 1000HP Twin-Turbocharged YENKO/SC® C8 Corvette.

Inspiration for this powerhouse of a Corvette comes from the infamous ZL-1 aluminum big-block engine found in a very limited run of Camaros and Corvettes that Chevrolet’s Central Office Production Center (COPO) produced.  Giving the C8 Corvette's engine a bit of independence from Chevrolet's stock form is a pair of 58mm ceramic ball-bearing water-cooled turbochargers. There is much more to uncover, so read our cover story on page 12. Following our cover story in the BUY section is a look at four recently revealed models that should be on your radar this year.

Heading to the DRIVE section, we took the McLaren GT for a spin through Southern California, looking for roads with curves and turns in all the right places. Next up is a dive into the phasing out of muscle cars from OEMs. But there is an uptick in tuning houses that are more than willing to keep the American muscle car dream alive.

In our lifestyle section, LIVE, we share four delicious cocktails that will kick up a cool breeze during those hot summer days. For our watch connoisseurs, our monthly watch editorial discovers five collectible watches worthy of a spot in even the most discerning collector's case.

As always, our famous SELL section wraps up the magazine. It has the latest, greatest, and most iconic automobiles for sale. Be sure to flip through the classifieds as your next dream car awaits you there.

We want to extend a happy birthday to the U.S.A. and hope everyone has a safe and unforgettable July.
