Thanks for posting the specs. Did you notice any change in feel on the street?
No... just drove it home about 10 min. Had car at dragon on way home from NCM and it felt good with the crappy alignment. I’ll have it at VIR in 2 weeks.
So I take it you went with an intermediate amount of camber? I'm curious to see how the works because I have been thinking about doing the same thing.
Yep... something that won't kill the tires in 4-5K miles. This is a street car primarily and changing alignments back and forth for track days is a lot of extra work/expense.
Oh what I'd give to have a good alignment shop within 200 miles! Always nice to find someone that knows what they're doing, lol. Did you have them at least check the rear caster?

Yes... it's 0.0, but no place to put it in the machine to be on the printout.
Thank you for posting this. This is what I was thinking about doing, a happy medium for improved handling on the track but not so much that you're destroying tires just driving to and from the track.
Car feels great, but purely subjective. Headed to VIR this weekend.
Can't wait! I trust your opinions because of your experience on track(and common sense to this forum) so I can't wait to hear more about the hybrid alignment.
No... not competing in the car. Just 3-4 instructor group weekends a year. It’s a street car. Just made sure to take all rake out of chassis and lowered the LF a little as it was noticeably high.

This is my plan for my street driven Z51. Will give the Corvette Tech when I reach ~500 miles and have it aligned on GM's dime. Did something similar on my 2017 Grand Sport. Note assuming caster is within spec prefer they don't touch those settings.
Any thoughts?
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
Had car setup and aligned today.
