Summary

Motion Performance is the fully illustrated, inside story of the 60's shop that turned off the assembly line muscle cars into fire breathing performance monsters.

Motion Performance tells the inside story of how American muscle cars came to dominate every element of the open road. Brilliantly illustrated with period pictures and modern color photos, the book takes you along for the ride as Cobras, Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles, even Volkswagen Beetles roll into the shop to get torn down and rebuilt into cars unbeatable on the streets and drag strips.

Marty Schorr gives a first-hand account of seven years of high-performance life--and of how it all came to a screeching halt at the hands of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency. A once-in-a-lifetime tale of power and speed, told by one of the principals who put that performance within reach, Motion Performance makes the story of a briefly and thrillingly lived dream available to everyone.
