highly recommended

A Must-Have for any 911 owner or enthusiast

If you are a 911 owner or an enthusiast, make sure you get you hands on this book. This is a must-have for your reference library.

The only bad thing is that with the level of detail it makes you think you can buy some genuine Porsche tools and do any work on your car yourself. ;-)

very good book

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 !

Great general reference for 964s

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.
