I'm no Jackie Stewart but can certainly tell these cars can push on the street. Enough to have me rush to get an alignment check within days of delivery. Dialed it up from -1.4 front (which was OEM in my particular case) to -2.0 and all was well again.
Lost me here...front is -1.59 degrees left and -2.06 degrees right.....to me that can be a lot tighter spec.

I didn't know Gibbo is in Europe and I'm not familiar with roads and speed laws outside the US but where I live the roads are flat, straight and boring. Only fun can be on a highway on or off ramp! LOL So here in Florida you have to be driving highly illegal to get a Porsche that is dialed in to push on the street...unless the tires are cold and you hit that highway ramp.

He means it is in mintues.

So -1.59 minutes is -1.98 in the way your thinking.

Allignment machines work in minutes so the maximum they go is 0.59, 1.59. 2.59 etc and obviously after 59 in a minute is a new hour.

So my front being -1.59 and -2.06 is essentially -1.97 and -2.03 in the way your thinking so actually pretty damn close, certainlyh nothing to worry about.

Make sense?
