You can. Although it's a a lot easier to take the caliper off, and you'll do a much thorough job. I've done it with the caliper on, and off, and if I ever do it again I'll take the caliper off and that's what I advise... It's really not that hard...

They are REALLY putting serious effort into that car and bringing a serious performer in for a decent price point. As an enthusiast you should applaud their efforts...and hope they continue to get better...who knows what they could produce in 5 to 10 years...look at Nissan and what they've brought to the automotive world.
Oh...and don't forget about some of the images that GM carries...and the Camaro. Hello Pot.....meet Kettle.
That being said...I LOVE that GM brought in a 300hp car for UNDER what Hyundai brought the Genesis in at....it was a marketing coupe.

Exactly and if you guys are already underestimating this car then you are making a grave mistake. I'm sure that most of you probably don't really follow the sport of "drifting" (I don't either actually) although most of you prob know what it is. It's starting to become more popular here in the states and one of the American drift team, Rhys Millen racing who is driven by professional drifter Rhys Millen, has driven two GM products, an 04 Pontiac GTO, and then they switched over to the Pontiac Solstice GXP.... Well they aren't driving both anymore... They will actually be using the Genesis Coupe...
So if you don't think GM isn't losing ground you're wrong. Also... the 2.0L 4cyl that's offered in the base model is actually the same block, and turbo that's used in the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X... So there's going to be a huge aftermarket support for this car not to mention there's going to probably be 400hp turbo 4 Genesis coupes running around out there in the future, that will be biting at the rear of both the Camaro SS and V6 Camaro...
