It depends on what model Corvette you have.. Ideally, for the best performance at the drag strip, you don't want any camber change in the rear. I don't know about C4 - C6's but on C3's, you can get a bracket or smart struts that mount the strut rods so that they are parallell to the half shafts. That setup will prevent camber change and you can set the rear tires to zero camber and zero toe
For the front, ideally you have to figure out how high your front end sits while going through the traps. A photo will help greatly.. Then, when doing the front end alignment, the front tires should be set to zero toe and zero camber at approximately the same front end height as when going through the traps..
This setup will
a) plant your rear tires firmly, even during squatting
b) have the least rolling resistence
