Forgot to ask--Wheel lug torque values?

Guys--I looked and looked in the owners manual for torque values for my lug nuts on my road wheels but didn't find a thing in 3 places. I guessed and set the torque wrench at 96 foot pounds as most cars are roughly 95-100 ft lbs. If anyone knows exactly, please give it up. Thanks.

Just noticed the Vette. GMC cars are 95-100 lbs . Acura and Honda are 75-80.

I'm new to this torquing the lugs thing too! We used to just grab the impact wrench and tighten them down till it wouldnt spin anymore! Works on all the old Camaros!
