I own the paper version of this and it's a good read... I like performance books that take a balanced approach to power:  cooling, lubrication, brakes, handling, etc... not just "anything for more horses".

There are 4 paragraphs partaining to diesel, swap to bigger or tubo or TDI. Valuable for suspension, brakes, and insight for engine overhaul but no hotrodding of the diesel. Anyone seen the Bentley book?
