I found this old post. I'm going to be buying some books soon.
Race Car Vehicle Dynamics by Milliken and Milliken. From what everyone says it is the bible. Question, should I buy the Problems, Answers, and Experiments to go along with this? If I get that book, should I still get Tune to Win by Carroll Smith? How about The Shock Absorber Handbook by John C. Dixon here is a better description https://shop.sae.org/technical/books/R-176 Also planning to get Race Car Aerodynamics: Designing for Speed This post has been edited by StanIROCZ: Apr 30 2007, 02:50 AM |

I've read the Carroll Smith series of books and I tried to read Race Car Vehicle Dynamics. Being an engineer I found RCVD very good, but also very textbook like and had my fill of those types of books at the time. They have the solutions manual for a reason!
