Negative Camber.... ya crank it or ya crank it out!!! Depending on what you are going to do with your Vette. But seriously folks, I think the C6's at the shows were lowered somehow and that may make the rear wheels appear as though they have more neg camber. What you think? :)

Both wheels appear to have some negative camber in that photo.

The BMW SUV's have very noticeable camber too. Maybe the tires are optimized for it with changing tread pattern/compound?

From Fast-Autos.net article (no writer named)

"Ride & Handling. Improvements in ride and handling include greater lateral acceleration, more body control, less noise transmitted from the road, and better traction and stability in corners. The specific tuning changes in the chassis and suspension include suspension and steering geometry optimized for better handling and ride, advanced compounds in the tires, new directional control arm bushings, increased caster angle and greater suspension ride travel. The result is a Corvette that is more poised at even higher handling levels, yet easier to drive."
