The best book that I've read has been "Going Faster: The Art of Race Driving". I can't even imagine driving without what I learned from this book.

I just finished that book tonight. Very, very informative. Or you could just go to the Evolution school and experience everything in that book hands on.

unless theres some new amazing new book out, we've covered this topic pretty much in terms of introductions and personal reviews in this forum all too many times. youll get a much better response by just searching the archives of this forum under "book" or "books".
