I'll need roadside assistance just to break the bolts free if I don't carry a breaker bar.

Camaro is 140 ft-lbs, too. I discovered this after torquing them all to 120 because I thought that was what I read before...and decided to check again before driving off.
The Focus ST was 100 ft-lbs. IIRC, the RX-8 was 88 ft-lbs. 140 is...a lot.
