Track Alignment specs..help
I have a 2007 F55 with Z51 bars and factory tires and wheels. Going to Mid Ohio for a track day. The tires are EMT's with 9,000 miles. Going to use them one day and then replace. Driving to and from track 150 miles each way. So what is the stock factory alignment and any suggestion on a track day alignment? Have seen the setting from PFADT..am thinking about using their AGGRESSIVE Dual street track.
I will start with cold tires at 27 front and 28 rear.
Thanks.

This is pretty similiar to Pfadt aggressive settings. Couple of the vettes I track with run it with good results and their is really no extra tire wear. Camber really doesn't start eating the inside of the tires until you go over -2 degrees. Toe is the biggest factor and thats why I have always been a big advocate of 0 toe in the front.
Always depends on your suspension and the tires. If you were running more aggressive suspension those alignment specs above are even considered tame. I would consider those more of an aggressive street alignment.
