The shop that does mine has a new Hunter setup. Huge machine and they just select the year/make/model of the car and it tells them the specs. I had them set my 98 vert to 04 Z06 specs. Setup on mine is Z06 bars, Bilstein Sports, 18's all around and lowered on stock bolts. Handles great.

Do you have runflats or non-runflats?
If you have runflats I'd go with stock C5 alignment as runflats with their rigid sidewalls won't responde as well to more negative camber.
If you have non-runflats and are truly looking for an agressive street setup, I'd go with stock Z06 settings. I forget what these exact numbers are, I think they are close to -1* camber, max caster and very little toe. If you do a search, you'll find the numbers (search the internet too, they're out there on various sites).
If you will see a track and want to push a little further, I am very happily using -1.5* front, -1.0* rear, 8* caster and a little toe out in front and in in rear (I forget the amounts and can't seem to find my sheet).
