Just took one of my C5's in for a four-wheel alignment at a local specialist. I have all the service records of the two previous owners from day 1 and an alignment was never performed or documented. Living here in Western PA the roads are not the best. This four-wheel alignment provided a noticeable difference in handling. Well worth the cost. ($116)
I love how these C5's handle and keeping the correct alignment does make it better. If your C5 has not been aligned in awhile, you may want to give it a try. Many mistakenly ignore alignments and miss out on their C5's handling performance potential.

Yes yes... Just had it done to mine after new Michelin... Track Side Motorsports in Portland. 👌👍...Garth did good.
positive camber in the front? Ive never seen anybody recommend positive camber...
And the caster difference from left to right front would bother me.
And why zero out the toe? A little toe in(like 1/8 IN) is good...
I personally wouldnt be happy with that alignment, but if you are, rock on.
Agreed, especially for the price lol.
OP, if you're happy with that, that's all that matters, but you're still missing out on the C5's handling performance potential with that alignment. Positive camber up front is exactly the opposite of what you want for a handling purposes.

Did you ask why he left the rear camber .10* apart? It’s within totals but that’s quite a bit between L&R

The best alignment I ever got on my C5 was the Pfadt Street Alignment. Totally removed any trammeling I was experiencing, car drove straight as an arrow, handled great and tire wear was even all around. Would be the only alignment specs I would ever have done.

If you need a good alignment shop, I can recommend Fowler Automotive in Glenshaw PA. Experienced shop that can also make alignment recommendations based on usage, and will discuss the handling characteristics that you are looking for. No affiliation except as a customer.
That's a family sedan alignment, as they said, your camber should be negative,
There's a wide range of what is considered in-spec and acceptable in alignments that in real life, would never be satisfactory
I've started to semi-align my own cars. (not touched the Vette yet).
Using old school drag racer type of methods has actually done me quite well. Especially keeping toe as close to 0 as is possible has been good. Now a short sidewall tire you may not want to go dead on 0 because it'll feel like its wandering. Anyway.. some colored string, strips of wood that is dead flat, a smart phone w/level app, and a garage w/flat floor is all you need to get toe and camber.
Duke, that "could" work on a car but it would result in a lower than accurate setup
Something like the iPhone based Gyraline has been assessed as good as it gets DIY compared to a real alignment rack and no I have no affiliation (or get $$)
It's just a real thing a DIY'er can use to get an accurate setup yourself
