I'm guessing a bit here, but assuming that you're trying to reduce the possibility of understeer. If that's the case, you can add a bit more negative camber to the front settings over the rear settings. For example, the middle of the factory "street" settings is -0.5 degrees camber at all four wheels. You could try setting the rear at that -0.5 degrees and then set the front at -0.7 degrees.

If you are trying to reduce understeer, aero aids don't really do much below legal speeds. If that's the case, then learning to drive a mid engine car would be your best bet. It's different.

Are you eligible for Spring Mountain COS with discount? If so you really should attend it. You should attend it even if you have to pay full fare like we did for my wife to attend along with me. Worth every penny.

I agree will of you as well, I have to have a manual trans, & I just like the looks of the C7 over the C8. I have the love of the C7 so much, I bought a 2019 ZR1 to to with my 2016 Z06 Convertible.
No C8 for me.

One day I was walking to the far end of a Mall Parking lot (where I always park my cars) and a large empty space as I walked to my 2017 Grand Sport (my 2nd C7.) It was parked at about the angle shown. Thought the long hood, FE look was fine for my 1974 Datson 260Z but is starting to look long in the tooth. These ME cars look modern!
Then thought, heck I was able to go from a slip stick in college to a TI-59 programable calculator when I worked in R&D to the first PC in the State of OH I ordered for a Project in the R&D Lab I managed (that is what the local Radio Shack Store manager said when I would call each week because they were late delivering. He said I can assure you're getting the 1st one that is coming to the State. Heck could not operate my part time Internet business without two computers, iPad and iPhone. I can learn to pull paddles vs stirring a stick.
Started in Manual Mode for a month but 1st gear is at Rev limiter at 34 mph. I make a right angle turn at the end of the rural road I live on to merge into often heavy ~70 mph traffic on a 4-lane divided highway. Upshift paddle is out of position and hit the Rev Limiter several times. No fun with traffic coming up fast behind as all fuel is stopped going to the DT! Learned to drive my 2020 C8 in Z-Mode Power set to Track. It was like I drove my two 7 speed C7s. Yep, no way even Juan Fangio could stir stick as fast as my E-Ray! Shifts to 2nd at ~34 mph keeping 1st and 2nd gear engaged for 50 to 100 milliseconds!
