In prepping the car for the track I installed a few enhancements on the car. After install we put the car on the alignment rack to dial in a track alignment. One of the things we found is how absolutely horrible the car was aligned out of the factory. See the pic of the specs below. Ignore the front as the before is after the initial install of Moreno camber plates and the revised springs (2017 build). Look at the rear, the left was aligned -1.0 camber and .11 toe, the right -0.1 camber and .92 toe. I have little doubt the front was as equally bad in stock form.

An alignment this far off causes a variety of problems, tire wear, pulling on acceleration and braking, drifting.... Given this whether you track the car or not I would suggest you get an alignment as out of the factory it sucks.

I have my stock alignment printout from a ZL1 1LE, it was pretty bad.

Yet more evidence that everyone's car needs an alignment as part of PDI.

I'm not sure I've ever seen that much toe on a single corner. I bet it drives like a real car now.

You won't see that because GM actually pays the dealer to complete a PDI. They're not going to pay for an extra alignment.

It's like a completely different car.

The other interesting item of note is the brakes. I had SS lines installed and replaced the fluid with Castrol SRF. The brake feel is significantly better, firmer and quicker to response to pedal pressure (haven't done the pad swap yet). SS lines and SRF fluid should not have a noticeable difference in street driving. I strongly suspect that the brake fluid was under filled out of the factory.

What did you tell them when you did the alignment? Street or track setting?

Checking [and fixing the factory screw-up] alignment was part of my sales deal. YMMV, but the point is, get your car checked, because it's probably wrong.

He literally wrote it in his OP: track alignment.
