Below is a sheet with the 2015 factory specs, and you can see the camber ranges from -0.2° to -1.1°.
So....if you can see something that's probably less than 1° on the GS, then I guess it's "noticeable with our eye". I can't really tell that myself by looking at the wheel - especially if it's down like a Stingray at 1/2° or less.

My negative camber on my GS was pretty bad. My inner rear tires would of worn quickly. I just had the dealership do an alignment to straighten them up. I won't track the car so I perfer better tire life.

I was just browsing through my owners manual. Gotta love American cars.
In it says how to adjust your camber for the track and gives you the spec. and tire pressures. And for which model.
I always run 4-5 psi under for the track and the manual agrees.

Just had my GS aligned at 2000 miles, and yes, 3 of 4 wheels were out of spec on camber and rear toe was off. Get the car aligned, Bowling Green not great at getting it right prior to shipping. And prior to alignment, it did look like my car was off to the naked eye.

We've owned four new Corvettes, every one of them had at least one parameter that was outside of even the hugely wide GM specs.
Some time between 1k and 3k miles, dream up some silly complaint about handling and have the dealer check the alignment under warranty.
