Default Track Alignment

I drove a 2017 991.2 GTS yesterday that I suspect the previous owner tracked. The ride was extremely firm with not much wheel travel or bump damping, way beyond my expectations. If this car had an aggressive track alignment would that affect the ride quality?

Thanks

check if it has lowering springs and check air pressures (and change to comfort pressures).

An aggressive alignment does affect feel but not stiffness. It's more so how the car turns, and how the car handles in turns. Depending on toe the steering could be affected. Not sure, the nuisances are enough to notice however. Simply put, alignment will affect how the car tracks going straight, how darty it is when you turn, and the resistance in the steering wheel in extreme cornering conditions.
