Jack,



Thanks for the reply about widest wheels.  I am glad to see someone running 8"

all around and sporting 275/50 rubber on the rear.  How does this combination

handle?  I would think the stickier tires in front are actually helping

handling in your case.



Could you please review the camber, castor and toe in recommendations you made

during the tech session last Las Vegas Fun Rally?  I'm sure everyone on the

list would like the benefit of your experience, both for a primarily street

driven car and a more agressive profile for mainly track use.  Also, do you

have to back the car up on a Corvette approved alignment machine to get the

right camber, or will a good Hunter machine do it forwards?



Thanks,

Jim Firanzi
