Automotive Engineering
Hey, i'm a student studying mechanical engineering and i am very interested in cars. Does anyone know where i can the pros and cons of different designs of cars? like the pros/cons of different suspension systems, and the engineering behind different engines. I know the actual designs are classified by the companies, but is there any research published analysing different designes?

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.
