Duke and others: I took an extended drive today in my C2 as it was in the 60's here in Houston and beautiful clear skies. As you recall from other posts, I have the Pirelli P4000s and recently had my car aligned (specs below from an earlier post). The car drives nice and I like the tires, but I do feel what I would describe as "squirrelly" steering about the center position while driving any speed from about 30mph up. The car doesn't wander or pull, but it is an uncomfortable feeling that is hard to describe. I only get this feeling when driving a decent speeds when making small steering inputs to stay on the road. It feels fine when actually turning at intersections. Corning forces seem good and I havne't noticed my rear end wanting to come out when aggressively taking corners. I know I'm probably not describing this well, but I was hoping that from my specs you might be able to point to something that would produce this feeling. Remember that I was actually targeting more positive caster but couldn't get it as we ran out of adjustment range on the right front. I plan to go back to the alignment shop again now that I have the new Pirellis, and can request a specific change in settings if you have a suggestion.
Here were my alignment results from about a month ago or so:
Front camber left: -0.85 deg right: -0.52 deg
Front caster left: +1.24 deg right: +1.88 deg
Front toein left: 0.16 deg right: 0.16 deg
Total toe front: 0.32 deg
Rear camber left: -1.07 deg right: -1.04 deg
Rear toein left: 0.05 deg right: 0.06 deg
Total toe rear: 0.11 deg
Thrust angle: -0.01 deg
