[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 183597, member: 5304"] interesting settings. My street/track Mustang runs about 1-1.5 camber and about 5 caster on the street. Autocross/Shubie I'll bump that up to around 3 camber and 6-7 caster. I can go to 8 caster, but that starts doing some strange handling things with the Mcpherson strut style suspension. I could switch to coil overs, but the same problem would still be there. It's about the geometry of [B][I]NOT [/I][/B]having an SLA front suspension. But those autocross settings will roach a set of tires fairly quickly. For example: I can run 6-7 camber on the street with around 1-1.5 camber, but the inner edges of the tires will wear quickly. The 2020 Vette isn't too far off those settings at .5 camber and 8 caster. But I can't imagine GM would let loose a known "tire eater" on the general public. There must be a little more magic going on in the chassis to save those hides out to a reasonable amount of treadwear. I'm not too enthused about thier understeer comments. I hate understeer. I'd rather have oversteer. Oversteer I (personally) have no problems dealing with. Oversteer? I've had that before and man o man, understeer sucks and scares the bejesus out of me as I head for the outside of the corner and whatever solid objects that may be waiting at the road edge..... The track settings? Bye bye rubber. Best have a spare set of tires and alignment jigs back at the pits if you intend to drive it home..... [/QUOTE]
