With that said, I can’t believe I had 3 separate compliments on my car between yesterday and today. I wonder why they didn’t mention the crappy looking calipers? Again, priorities and perspective.

Anyway, it may be best to not bash a whole sub set of LT1’s, or for that matter other (s) LT models. I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way, but that’s the way it came across. Let’s just stick with: the upgraded brakes make the car look “even more” special.
I'm sorry, this wasn't tactful indeed. I personally don't think such a caliper belongs on a V8 Camaro (it looks like what I had on my previous V6 and I disliked it even when it was mine), but that's all, I never meant to insult you or any other LT1 owner.
