Anyone who knows how to drive and slide a car up to and past its limits intuitively understands almost everything on that site.
Most people just don't understand the mathmatics and physics well enough to see it as a bunch of equations on paper. Who needs to besides us engineers anyways.
A person does not need to know the formal physics of aerodynamics and ballistics to throw a curve ball.
I find the equations somewhat useful when morons try to tell me that their newest suspension mod allowed them to take corners 10 mph faster....which, usually relates in ACTUAL terms to improving their lateral G by something like .4 G, which is, of course, completely absurd.
But yeah, engineering types DO like this sort of stuff, even of the basic concepts are relatively easy to understand. Something like a chassis dynamics book might be better for 400HP930 though. But I'm sure he's already read Miliken...something I haven't done yet, so I just pick the minds of my friends who have...
