Do you drive your 911 on the street? At the racetrack? It doesn't matter, really.

Through interviews with pro mechanics, high-performance equipment manufacturers, racing teams, and pro drivers, this book gives you information similar to Porsche's racing development.

A great tool for the hands-on Porsche 911 owner who wants better handling for everyday driving, or for the racing enthusiast who's after lower lap times in his 911 around the racetrack.
