Re: Automotive Engineering

1)"Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" pub. by SAE PRESS.
2)"Fundementals of Vehicle Dynamics" pub. by SAE PRESS.
This one is used often as a classroom textbook.
These are both excellent, but don't have any comparisons between specific cars.
3)"New Directions in Suspension Design"pub. by ROBERT BENTLEY PRESS has suspension technical reports of a Citroen, a Porsche 928 and a Ford Fiesta, and why they went in that direction. Along with item 2, it is oriented more to passenger cars.
4)"Racing Chassis and Suspension Design" pub. by SAE PRESS is a collection of SAE papers and has some suspension comparisons. Specifically, the suspension of various years of production Corvettes comes to mind.
Items 1 and 4 are closing in on $100 US each.
Item 3 is probably not available anymore.
