Weights on 2010 Camaro Brembo's - What are they for?
|
BMW does it too: http://blogs.edmunds.com/straightlin...es-it-too.html
http://blogs.edmunds.com/straightlin...mb-555x432.jpg I believe GM said the weights reduce vibrations at certain speeds. |
Here is what I read:
John Fitzpatrick from GM has chimed in with this official answer regarding the weights that have appeared on the brakes of owners taking delivery so far: 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. |
I would definitely return it if I saw something like that on my car
|
Maybe they'll add to the value one day...
...probably not |
Just another reason to not buy a Camaro.

People like you are the people that talk smack without knowing what the f*k you are talking about. Please explain me and the forum where in the hell did you get the 13-16mpg figure? The Camaro V6 powered which by the way it has 304hp and weights close to 3800lbs still gets a respectable 17 city-29mpg hwy. The LS3 powered Camaro(426HP/420LB-TQ) gets a respectable 16mpg/25mpg hwy so.. where did you get the 13-16mpg?:rolleyes: Carlos |
while I agree w/ you about the factory MPG, the 16-25mpg is an average that is arrived at by someone trying to get the best numbers out of it. 13-16mpg is probably more realistic for the simple fact you have 400+ hp in a rwd. who wouldn't want to mash that pedal as much as humanly possible.
