A Word of Caution to C7 Owners...
I just went out in the garage to retorque my McGard Locking Lug Nuts that I put on last week.
Just out of curiousity, I decided to retorque all the lug nuts. Good thing I did. The factory had only torqued them to 80 ft/lbs. My advice to all C7 owners, go retorque yours or at least check them.

Yes, lug nuts are supposed to be torqued to 100 ft/lbs on the C7.
I've found this is also the standard for all Camaro's and all other GM vehicles as well.
