To someone going to a find new roads event:

Could you please measure the Brembo clearance distance on an SS?

And measure inside the trunk, diagonally, from each corner (i.e., from driver front to pass rear, and pass front to driver rear). Because golf clubs.

This may sound crazy, but I can't fathom that when engineering a car the engineers wouldn't take into consideration if certain items fit. One of the items I feel would be on a universal checklist for "can it fit" on a mass produced car is a set of golf clubs. Especially in a car that gets so many rental fleet orders. My wifess Q60S is extremely tiny and they even add a sticker on the inside to show how to fit in 2 sets of clubs. The Trunk Capacity of the Q60 is only 7.4 cubic feet and I think the Camaro is 9.

Wasn't totally sure what you wanted, but it looked to be about 1.25 inches between the caliper and wheel.

Well I can at least tell you that it sounds good under load. As they were taking the cars away to load them on the trailer they took an SS down the block and got on it a little. The sound really carries some distance.

Would be cutting it pretty close - plus not all wheels are made the same on the inner diameter.

What he said. ^^^

The only answer, again, is *it depends*.
