Porsche's 911 is a success story nearly unrivaled among its sport car peers. First introduced 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 its 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.

Porsche 911 Performance Handbook 2nd Edition revises and updates the original to include all the 911 models through 1996 and the newest performance upgrades. 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
• Engine rebuilding and modification
• Suspension and alignment
• Gallery of custom treatments
• Transmission and gear selection
• Buying a used 911
• Braking improvement
