I don't think know what the 996 Turbo camber range is.

I know what the range is for my X73 suspension, but that may be different than the non-X73 range.

It can but not really, ask any race team.

You got the "it can" part right.

It can, but it doesn't.

Endurance sports cars run a ton of negative camber and race in all sorts of crazy condition including torrents of rain and none of them suffer any reduction in braking or acceleration performance. Any competent alignment shop can dial in cambers on a street car that will also not negatively effect all weather performance. It is a none issue.

It can.

It's physics.

That is all...

The physics of it is so complex it is way way beyond you, almost chaos theory. Race teams and their engineers know exactly what they are doing, as do the folks who do alignments for high performance cars. You have no idea and zero experience, and are just bored, or had too many craft beers.

Camber..... Under load the tires easily squish down keeping the contact patch relatively constant. No issues... Type of use and type of tire will dictate the amount of camber. Running this much on the street would certainly be counterproductive. For summer high performance street tires with mainly street use and the occasional track day I wouldn't go much past -2.0º camber. Naturally you need more for track use with R-comps and significantly more for slicks.

Thanks... Funny how one of my favorite things about the 996 from a visual standpoint are the headlights. Never understood the disdain many have in that regard.

Today, went for a 100 mile run up, and back, through the valley. Met up with a buddy and his 2002 turbo - great run!!!

His car wasn't on the road... yet.
