Default Re: Dana Chevrolet business card...pretty cool!

Dick told me that he recommended a toe-out for autocrossing or road racing as that spec would allow the tire to make a better footprint when entering a corner.

Those specs would not work on the street, as the car would pull too hard either to the right or the left, depending on the surface or the grooves on the road.

I actually tried his specs once on one of my Corvettes. I barely made it home from the alignment shop!! Had to have the toe-in placed back into the car. My mechanic at that time had no problems with it and he was more than happy to take care of the situation.

Really cool card!
