Last time I had a steering wheel that wasn't straight the car had to go to an alignment shop to tweak one of the tire rod ends. It drove straight, but the alignment was just a touch off and correcting this caused the steering wheel to again be straight (this was on my 2008 Bullitt Mustang, but the same applies to the Corvette).

Alignment will fix this. You must have jacked up one side and something moved.

Long answer: Yes, if you have the tools and experience to set toe at your house.

Short answer: No.

Go to an alignment shop and they can handle it, not a big deal at all

If you have less than 12,000 km, you may find a dealer to warranty the alignment.
