What took you so long to buy it?!

All the expert feedback I have now received has identified only one mistake - the equation on changes in drag with top speed on Page 21. Dr Thomas Wolf of Porsche has a more accurate, and simpler, equation for this that he gave me.

Since the book was written, I have developed the throttle-stop method for testing drag changes, and now use the static port of a pitot tube as a pressure ref rather than a tank, so obviously neither of these techniques is in the book.
