Good book that needs to be updated

Great book, great drawings and tables. I found it very informative. We need more books like this.

Old info, but still valuable

This book, like the others Colin Campbell has written are loftily written and quite valuable in the technical data provided. The book has many schematic drawings of carburetors, Aston-Martin motors, Porsche motors, etc, and delves into the specific math and physics of each component of a sports car.It is not a book for learning how to fix your sports car, but it is an excellent starting point for understanding the design and performance issues.All in all, it is enjoyable and rich reading for any enthusiast.
