Default Alignment Camber. Is there a ZO6 spec?

I just had an alignment done on the Z. Is there a spec to be followed? It's lowered on stock bolts and the new reading on the fronts is Left -0.11degrees, Right -0.32degrees.

Default Alignment

The C5 specs are on page 3-20 of the factory service manual. I believe the Z06 uses -0.75 camber for street, and up to -2.5 deg for racing, depending on the track. It can be a different setting for left, right, front and rear, depending on the curves. Drag racing requires a different alignment. The whole thing is about maximizing the contact patch under load. The stock tires like the 3/4 deg neg camber for the street.
The book "Tune to Win" was of great value to me as far as setting up that sort of thing.

Thanks Jack...I actually found out there was a different spec for the base model & that's what mine was aligned to. I got it redone this afternoon properly.
