5.0 out of 5 stars Fanatical detail for the 911 fanatic, July 29, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera: The Last of the Evolution (Hardcover)
There are lots of books out there for the general Porsche or 911 fan, but if you own or otherwise specifically adore the Carrera 3.2 or turbo, this book is a must. Unique in its obssessive level of detail, this book is almost certain to teach you something about the last "real" 911 that you didn't already know, whether that is the number of each body style built in each country by year, how to decode the VIN, option and paint codes, or the subtle differences between years, body styles and geographic regions. And yet in spite of all the factoids (dare I call it trivia?), the book is not a mostrous, weighty coffee table book, but rather a light, hardbound nightstand reader. I actually sat in my Carrera 3.2 as I read it, learning about my specific engine's bhp, checking to see if my paint was (and which options were) original by comparing the codes, etc. All in all, I found it a fascinating study of one of my all-time favorite cars. The photos of rare, concourse 911s in every body style -- from the pinnacle Speedster to the ultra-rare U.S. edition Club Sport -- don't disappoint, either.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books on one of the best Porsche's, January 30, 2006
By 
This review is from: Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera: The Last of the Evolution (Hardcover)
Anyone who knows Porsche 911's knows the 3.2 Carrera is one of the best 911's ever made. The classic 911 lines started getting "soft" after the 1987/88 model years, and of course, a few years later, the classic air-cooled engine, which some refer to as "bullet-proof", was gone. It was a thrill to find a book that specifically covered the 3.2 Carrera, and a bigger thrill to discover the author did a great job of it too. The pictures are excellent, as is the lay-out and text. As the 3.2 Carrera becomes more of a classic, I'm sure this book will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very In-depth look at 1984-1989 year model, January 25, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera: The Last of the Evolution (Hardcover)
This book provides you much more information than you can get from The 911 Red Book or The Used 911 Story by Peter Zimmerman (I owned both). Those are the two must have. Furthermore, Tony Corlett gives you a lot of personal opinion, like driving impression and feel. This is more than just dry numbers on specification and performance measurement. All the variation within the 3.2 Carrera model line are being covered. High quality nice pictures. The most important chapter is on the Turbo-Look M491 option. It dispells a lot of mis-information I got from internet forums.
