Does the Z have a rear toe-steer problem?

I honestly don't remember off the top of my head. Alignment on new cars can be spotty given the abuse some of them had. I traded in a stock RX-8 that had Direzza Star Specs and a relatively tame alignment on it. The car handle corners with grace and had no drama. On the way back from the dealership, the Z felt nervous at the same exact speed on the stock RE050a. I immediately went out and bought myself a set of RE11 along with an alignment. I basically put together to 1/16 toe in in the front, about 2 degrees of camber in the back along with I believe about 1/8 in toe in in the back. The nervousness I had with the car was gone right after. Heck, it took me a good two years before I had anything close to a spin.
