4 out of 5 stars Great general reference for 964s   July 23, 2008
Not a lot to add to what many of the others have written. The book in addition to being a good general reference to some factory specs and some aftermarket setups and parts is a pretty darn good read. Can't say that for a lot of reference books. It is not a substitute for the factory service manual. There are many things I thought should have been in the book but wasn't, given the fanfare of it being the bible of 964s.

I found that the Technical Data Without Guesswork was handier for quick tech reference to specs, capacities and torque values. It also covers a little bit of theory of operation.

Streathers is more in depth along those lines and it picks up where the factory manual leaves off.

My only REAL complaint is the binding of this book. The pages seperated from the spine at page 372 and continue to migrate the page seperation with each use. I'm thoroughly disgusted with that as I will surely have completely loose pages before long. The binding is simply too weak to support the number of pages which is 636.



5 out of 5 stars very good book   April 25, 2008
I have had a 964 model Porsche for about two years and now want to get to know the car much better. This book is perfect as it describes and gives some idea of the repair situation for DIY. Great !

no real usable data for repairs, a coffee table book on the 964 at the most.
