This unique reference guide traces the history and development of the Dodge Daytona and Chrysler Laser performance coupes from their introduction in 1984 through their final vow in 1993. The cars' complete year-by-year progressions are recounted, from XE and Turbo Z, to XT and ES, all the way to Shelby and IROC R/T. Using turbocharged 4-cylinder engines, high performance 5-speed transmissions, and high performance suspensions, the Daytona and Laser offered performance numbers that would make even muscle cars envious. The first edition of this book, published in 2007, proved to be both a critical and sales success. This revised edition is packed with even more information, more tables, more photos, even an expanded photo section. G-Body fans have been demanding a comprehensive history of the Chrysler Laser and Dodge Daytona, and this written account accomplishes that goal with in-depth detail. "I highly recommend this book to anyone that has any interest in G-bodies.It is a perfect reference for the G-bodies." -B. Goodall, President, Shelby Dodge Auto Club "The Daytona/Laser book is, frankly, the best paper-based reference we're ever likely to see on any Chrysler cars of this era; it's very well written, in an engaging style, and McCausey pulled in numerous sources to have a fairly well arranged, well documented compilation. It's worth a buy." -D. Zatz, Allpar.com "I certainly enjoyed going through the book...You've done a great job, and your research on these cars will be the standard in the future, especially since so little on 80's Mopars is otherwise being written." -M. McCourt, Hemmings Muscle Machines "Great book! Congratulations. You did an awesome job." -R. Baldwin, Founder, Buttonwood Press

How do companies like Microsoft and Wal-Mart rise to the top of their industries and dominate year after year, while others like People Express and LA Gear burn out after promising starts? In Changing the Game, Eric Flamholtz and Yvonne Randle, two leading management consultants, reveal that the key to success lies in how you transform your organization. Virtually all organizations face critical transition points in their life cycle, when they must change how they play the game, or perish. Flamholtz and Randle focus here on three critical moments: the move from entrepreneurial to professional management, when a firm reaches a stage of growth where it can no longer operate in an informal, unstructured way; the revitalization of an established business that is losing ground to competitors; and a radical change in a business vision. The authors show, for instance, how American Century Investors made the transformation from a $50 million entrepreneurship to a professionally managed company with a market value of $2 billion; how IBM, one of the great American corporations, was forced by the proliferation of PCs in the 1980s to overhaul its business to survive; and how Starbucks Coffee, originally a Seattle coffee-bean store, was inspired by Milans romantic coffee bars to recreate itself and transformed an entire industry. The book concludes with a look at how one company--Bell Carter Olive Company--pulled together all the concepts and tools presented in the book and successfully changed the game. Changing the Game provides a comprehensive framework and a set of tools for the strategic management of organizational transformation. It will help managers meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive business environment.
