Default alignment specs?

Hey guys,

Just bought a new vette and the insides of the tires are scrubbed. It doesn't look like camber so i'm guessing the toe is off. Anyway. While they're in there. Are you guys mostly running factory alignment specs or something else? i plan on autocrossing and running track days a few times a year.

Thanks!

When I bought my Z06 the inside shoulder on the front tires was completely gone, to the cords, but the rest of the tread was good. It seems the camber adjusters can move if not torqued enough, my car was at 3/8 inch total toe out in the front as a result. I now have it set to zero toe out and I check the camber cams occasionally to make sure they have not moved again.
