Searchable All-Sponsor Vendor Parts Index It's hard sometimes to find the less-popular parts
and having to wade through each of the sponsors'
web sites (some of which are pretty weak) to find
that they didn't carry it anyway is a drag.
It would be very cool to have something like a
sponsor database of who sells what that we could
search on.
If the vendors just spat out a linear text listing of
all LS-1 merchandise they carry and you gave each of
them their own one-posting thread to stuff that
text into, then we could use the native search
capability and find out who, say, carries the
"edelbrock torque arm" or whatever. Even if it
doesn't include prices, just to find who's got the
thing you're looking for?
Seems like a good way to connect sellers with buyers
at relatively low effort, and I figure the sponsors ought
to like this even better than just having a mini-billboard
and posting rights in the Sponsor/GP forum - broader
coverage and more use I reckon.

I think this would be a great feature to have also. This would be especially helpful to those of us unlucky enough to only have a dial-up connection, as I used to. Waiting for some of the sponsors pages to load and then having no luck on finding what you were looking for is a drag. It could be similiar to each sponsor posting a text only map of their webpages.
