I'm assuming you want something like a 'How stuff works' section? Describing the advantages and disadvanteges of things like turbos vs superchargers, x-pipes vs h-pipes, FWD vs AWD vs RWD and so on?

We do have a few very technical guides that get written and discussed sporadically. Spike wrote some a year ago. As it is now, there is nothing in place to prevent intelligent discussion on technical topics, but those sorts of threads are rare for 2 main reasons. First, many are afraid to ask things that would prompt such a discussion (like ... what is a header and why do they make more power?). Secondly, most who do have advanced knowledge will only chime in when someone else asks a question and won't initiate a tech thread on their own because they don't want to write a mini novel. So these sorts of discussions are more frequently made as a side track from another related topic, which makes them much harder to find.

There is a small collection (4) at the bottom of the Camaro5 wiki http://www.camaro5.com/forums/wiki.p...TIVE_KNOWLEDGE but I know there are more out there. I've thought about compiling a list of them (like in the wiki) in a sticky but I haven't found the ambition to do it yet.
