Looks like 110 in my Manual ...

Yep.

2015, 2014, 2013 all say 110 lb-ft.

2012 is a little weird though, and is 110 lb-ft for wheel nuts with "blue tint cone seats", and 140 lb ft for silver tint cone seats (like the 2011s and 2010s)

2011 and 2010 are 140 lb ft.

Can someone confirm the actual torque, I have been torqueing my 2010 Camaro Lug Nuts at 100 ft. lbs. since I purchased the car in 2010. I had it into the Dealer for the 5 year 90 point inspection and when I read the things they did, on my check list I noticed the Lug Nuts were torqued to 120 ft. Lbs..I seen many answers, and would like to confirm if it's 100 or 110 or 120 or 140 ft..Lbs
Thanks

I can tell you it's not 140 ft./lbs. If you try to torque to 140 you run the risk to strip the stud and threads in the lug nut, and have to get the new stud pressed in. I know. We tried to torque to the spec in the manual several years ago on our 2011 SS after looking in the owners manual. After that episode, I've always torqued 'em to 100 and never had any issues.

I've looked in my manual for my '15 and it also shows what was posted in thread #71. 110 ft/lbs. It appears that GM finally fixed the error in the earlier owner's manuals, but won't admit they goofed printing the 140.

I fully agree with you, like I said I have been setting the torque on mine sent I bought at 100ft lbs. I think the dealer told me back then ,but I was surprised to see they torqued them to 120 on my last visit. I set them back to 100 ft. lbs.it feels better at than 120/140.The wheels haven't falling of it year over a 5 year period lol. You are right it would play hell on the Disc set at 140 ft. lbs. for sure.
Thanks for the reply.
