Porsche 911 Performance Handbook (2nd Edition)

By: Bruce Anderson .

Porsche's 911 is a success story nearly unrivaled among its sports car peers. First offered for public consumption in 1965, it has been in non-stop production ever since. This alone speaks volumes about the 911's success and popularity. To its credit, however, Porsche has never allowed the 911 to rest on it laurels; the car simply gets better every year.

More power, better handling, quicker stopping, and greater comfort. Great as it is, the 911 still remains the perfect performance-tuner's companion. Regardless of vintage, any 911 can be made to perform better than its factory-stock brothers. Noted 911 expert Bruce Anderson has drawn on his 30-plus years of Porsche experience to create the ultimate 911 hop-up guide. The exhaustive text, accompanied by more than 650 illustrations covers:

• 911 history and development
• Buying a used 911
• Engine rebuilding and modification
• Braking improvement
• Suspension and alignment
• Wheel and tyre selection
• Gallery of custom treatments
• Correcting problem areas
• Transmission and gear selection.

Whether you want to upgrade your rims and tyres or build a full-blown racer, Porsche 911 Performance Handbook has all the information you need.
