That seems like a forum class all it's own, where the threads would link directly to the value in the table. It would also be hard to classify the cars egg-zactly. My car has 3 generations * two different weights based on auto/stickshift transmission * two engine choices.

Hmmmmm, maybe one member would be given "control" of one class of car. They would fill-in values as best they can, and the details would "grow" over time with other user's input. For instance, SVOBoy knows CRX's quite well, so he could build a good CRX attribute database.

I'm not a web programmer, but it seems like a PITA to program.

A program would be great but I can understand how it would be a pain.

It doesnt even have to a be a sticky.

It could be a link on top to a page with the info which gets updated as the numbers come in.
