<VV> Torque Spec for Camaro lug nuts

[Robert Marlow]

In my local club is a member who uses a torque wrench for EVERYTHING.  I 
think he puts the cap back on his toothpaste using a torque wrench.  I, 
on the other hand, never use a torque wrench.

For lug nuts, I put them on and tighten them.  Haven't had a wheel fall 
off yet.  Haven't had a lug nut work loose, either.

More important to me than torque is age of parts.  For peace of mind I 
have put new wheel studs in three of my four Corvairs... the Rampside is 
next.
