I agree with trizo about the gregory's and ellery's. I am yet to have any experience with the haynes. I also find that the gregory's is alot easier to follow.
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.

I thought that Gregories was bought out by Haynes and that Gregories are no longer published?

Haven't had any exposure to Ellery's but you can get the actual GM Workshop manuals (I think there is between 8 and 12 volumes) from Pitstop... The recommendation is that you don't need all volumes- just pick and choose the ones you need.

Yeah- Pitstop have some but not all. I think they are just under $40 each?

I haven't seen them elsewhere but let me know if you can find them cheaper! I leech them when I can from Dad's workshop but I should really own a couple.
