Maximum caster numbers?
I know most 3rd gen's are limited in adjustment to around 5 to 6 degrees. But if you could run more what would be the limit for a track car? I see the new Camaro's run 6.5 stock and the Vettes are 7.7

Re: Maximum caster numbers?
Without modifying parts or using aftermarket components, I was only able to get around 5* on my car.
The more caster you have, the straighter the car will want to go however, it also makes it harder to turn. Lots of caster is good for a drag car. It's not good for a road course/autocross car.
