Still seems like a lot to me. On the rear I'd want to be less than 2 degrees so I could actually put power down. Though I guess with the staggered setup you need a good bit of negative camber to fight all that understeer. sigh.

No, but it cornered pretty well with 235's all around and so much camber. That sucker was a blast to drive.

I think factory spec only goes to like 1.6* or something. I dunno, I was always more concerned with getting power down coming out of a turn than on a straight line, but I might think differently if I had a Mustang

Don't admit to that. Steve will harass you non-stop about trading your car in for one.

I already get harassed about driving a soccer mom car. No different.

Well, that's my thinking too. I just think -2.2 is a lot for the street because 99% of the time you aren't pulling 1 lateral G as you go to accelerate out of a corner...

just because you aren't doesn't mean everyone isn't.
