Drive your Corvette forward 10 feet and then hit the brakes firm.
Back up 5 feet and hit the brakes firm again.

Your Corvette will set level again.

Rear tires always toe in on my 87 also after has been on a lift or jack stands initially.

I used to call it "Dove Tailing " Bob.

Follow a BBC C3 & watch him nail the gas hard.

Rear tires Dove Tail almost every time from the rear tires planting hard on the blacktop.
