I ordered the book for the purpose of obtaining infomation concerning the build-up and operation of supercharged engines. I was very disappointed to find pictures of cars cover to cover. There was two pages of supercharging theory and the rest all pictures.The title of the book is very misleading. There is not one thing comprehensive about this book peroid.I gave the book one star and do not recommend anyone to purchase unless it,s for your first grade son that likes picture books. To some it up I felt like I was ripped off!

This book appears to be an exercise in the photography of cars and some engine shots...no educational or technical sudstance. I wouldn't waste money on this book unless ya just really like lookin at 4 door sedans from Australia.

This book has lots of pictures of cars that have mega horsepower motors, and that is all it has. Basicly it each page has a different car with its stats and what has been done to it. There are a few pages about turbos and supercharges, but nothing worth buying it for.

While filled with lots of pictures of flashy cars, it contains very little useful information. It's basicaly a monthly car magazine wrapped in a hard cover. If I would have had a chance to look at it on the shelf I never would have purchased it.

The title to this book is very misleading. All it is is a collection of magazine articles from some Australian performance magazine about various cars that have been built up and turbocharged or supercharged. There is no practical useful information on turbocharging in it.

I have to agree that the title is misleading.
It's neither a guide, nor comprehensive.
Just descriptions of Ausie enthusiasts' cars.

NOTHING TECH ABOUT IT, BUT DOES HAVE COOL ILLUSTRATIONS.
LOOKS LIKE A DOWN UNDER MAGAZINE IN A HARDBACK.
THIS IS A GOOD BOOK TO HAVE ON YOUR SHELF FOR KIDS TO LOOK AND WOW AT. REALLY NOT MUCH ELSE.
