Review                                              Supercars Driving the Dream!!!

This book which features the Hideously styled McLaren Mercedes Benz and also features in the book along with the other Hideous Styled Mercedes Benz, and the Even Uglier(Sorry form Does not follow function for me.) Ariel Atom as well as the Pagani Zonda(which the Author's favorite.)There are cars featured such as the Toyota 4cyl powered Lotus Exige coupe, And Briefly touching on true Supercars Lamborghini Miura and Countach, For some reason in small letters other supercars not featured are mentioned, it is basically a mish-mash put together or compilation book with very little reading and some specs, the Price in the UK and the US. (the author is British and so the wording is such and written for such an audience.)The Corvette ZR-1 IS Mentioned but glossed over(I am referring to the 1990-1995 Version since the book is from 2006.),The ISO GRIFO Which will leave any Ugly Ferrari Enzo or Ferrari F50 In the dust as far as styling goes(and not to mention a Roaring Corvette V8).NO Corvette POWERED Zenvo ST1 OR The then new 2006 Z06 Which should have been featured in the section of cars that are Bargain supercars. My Favorites from the book is the Aston Martin DBR9 Racer, The Brief on The Miura and Countach. Sadly while the Chevrolet Powered Innovative Chaparrals were not Street Cars available for the public they should be considered Supercars. And the McLaren M6BGT, THE LOLA GT(Which spawned the GT40 AND GT featured in the book.)are all excluded sadly, Not really the Ultimate reference for Supercars, How do you explain a Mitsubishi Evo which despite being A Rocket from the factory and in rallying is still at the end of the day a car based on the Mundane Lancer sedan..

The book is in a good used condition.
