If you own or care about the Porsche 996 you NEED this book. September 11, 2008
John H. Rice (S.F. bay area)
I am fortunate to own more than one Porsche. I stumbled upon Mr. Streather's books when he wrote his first Porsche book. I was amazed at the amount of work, detail, and insight that he has put into each book. I now own 5 of his books. These are unique. They are NOT coffee table books. Not only do they have superb attention to getting the details correct, you can also use them as a limited DIY service manual. If you are a Porsche guy, you may already know that the Factory shop manuals are incredibly expensive and presume that you have been to the Factory technical schools AND have all the Factory computer equipment and tools to work on the cars.... rendering them full of interesting technical bits but borderline useless for working on your own Porsche. Not only is this book a nice read, it borders on EXCELLENCE. [Disclaimer: He used some of my images in the book. The only reason I contributed was because of his earlier Porsche books and saw this as an opportunity to be a small part of something genuinely worthwhile in the Porsche enthusiast world.] Pricey, but you are paying for quality and substance.
Great guide for DIY Porsche fans May 27, 2008

Rare for a technical guide, this book is surprisingly well written. Rather than reading like a manual, the book tells the story of the Porsche 996. Every imaginable item about these cars is covered in detail and the thorough research is apparent. Additionally, there is a great DIY section which covers some basic and advanced maintenance and upgrades.
This is a must read for any 996 owner who wishes to know more about their car.
