Format:Paperback
The book title implies that it is full of useful calculations for those designing cars or modifying their present one.
However the content is so basic that much of it is common sense, certainly no higher than GSCE/A-Level.
It is also largely aimed at the US market; using imperial units and much of the book is dedicated to circular track racing.
A wasted purchase for me I'm afraid.

Format:Paperback
I bought the book with the anticipation of a great source of mathimatical relationships between systems and to what degree each acted upon each other. While it is a good book for beginning theory and simple math, it leaves too much out to be much good.

Format:Paperback
I was introduced to this book in college while completing my Bachelors Degree in Automotive Engineering. It is jam packed with useful formulas and equations useful to the engine builder or just the theoretical minded person who enjoys crunching numbers. I am now ordering my second copy today as my other one has been well used and has gotten a bit tattered and its time to retire it.

TOO BASIC
Of course, there are some interesting formulas you can actually use, but most of them are too basic. At the end of the book there are lots of pages with conversion tables. Read more
