(More customer reviews)Carney isn't a particularly good writer but he did homework when he wrote this fairly in-depth book about the Honda S2000. I really enjoyed the introduction and history about Honda. And especially enjoyed the chapters discussing the development of the engine, chasis and transmission of the S2000.
If you've ever read in-depth books on specific automobiles published in Japan though, you'll see that this book's discussion is rather cursory. However, since there aren't too many such books--written in English on Japanese autombiles--this one does fine.
Overall, the book satisfied my curiosities about the wonderful car but, it also left me wanting to read more in two areas. First, I wanted to know more about the specific technical decisions made by Uehara and his team (stories and anectdotes and such). Second, I wish there was a chapter showing the complete performance specs of the car--and comparing it to its competitors.
Buy this book. It's a pretty good deal.

With its 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated engine delivering an astounding 240-horsepower, the Honda S2000 more than lives up to the groundswell of publicity it generated on the 1999 auto show circuit - it gives the BMW Z3 and Porsche Boxster a run for their deutschmarks. This exclusive, blow-by-blow account follows the design, testing, and development of the two-seat S2000, from the first conceptual drawings and the prototypes unveiled in 1995 to the promotional campaigns and production models that hit U.S. streets in late 1999. Lavish colour photography and never-before-published images from Honda bring to life the evolution of a stunning new, limited production sports car and a dynamic period in the company's history.
