New Camaro Brake Weights

Many new Camaro owners have reported finding wheel weights (used for balancing) attached to the front brake calipers of the 2010 Camaro.

 


In a statement from John Fitzpatrick, GM told the world that -

"Some early Camaro customers noticed that there are weights on the Camaro SS calipers. With high-performance vehicles like the Camaro SS, minor brake noise is not uncommon. The weights act as a damper to reduce noise in certain driving conditions. This was done after careful evaluation and validation by our engineering team. These weights will only be added to early builds of the Camaro SS."



Just imagine, 25 years from now, one of these cars rolling across the auction block. "This Camaro still has the factory installed wheel/brake weights, AMAZING!"

What are your thoughts?
