Heh, welcome man.

1. It's spelled Camaro. You don't have to spell everything right, just that word!

2. Locking lug-nuts just slow criminals down. It's not a problem. Call a professional.

3. Is it an ls1?

A pair of channel locks should get them off.

I don't think I could get lug nuts of with channel locks...

Get a socket that is almost the right size and then hammer it on, then use a breaker bar.
