I had my dealer check the alignment before I took delivery.
I ran my last Z06 for 1,000 miles to let the suspension "settle in", and could already see significant tire wear on the inside edge...
Once the wear pattern is set, it cannot be reversed.
Some Corvettes come off the trailer pretty close, and others are way off. Alignment guy thinks that even tying them down for shipment so tight can pull the alignment off.

And I'm having the ECU/ECM flashed and getting the differential oil checked even though I put a half a quart in it the day I brought it home.

I've had mine in twice now for a pull to the right. The 2nd time the tech found a PI that they actually gave me a copy of, and it made a big difference. Still has a slight pull so I think I may make another visit.

For a quick test to see how your tires are wearing, get some of that thick chalk kids use to draw on driveways with and color about a 1/2" wide line across your tires, then drive about 1/2 mile and look to see if the line is wearing off evenly.

While adjustments needed to correct defects in material and workmanship are covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty, wheel alignment or balance is covered after 500 miles and before 7,500 miles only.
Hope that helps,

So my dealer's tech say sit is not possible to get the 2.0 F and 1.7 R camber without exceeding the toe. Is he crazy? He did not charge me. I am going to run Hoosier R6 on track Thursday.
