Carrera alignment specs?

Hello all. For those of you who spoke up on the "Longhood better then Carrera" thread I am posing some more questions about getting the Carrera to come alive. As I have stated before my Carrera understeers more then I want it to. I have heard that some of this is due to a change in the alignment specs from the earlier cars in order to make the handling "safer". Is there any merit to this? If so what do I need to do to loosen the rear of this car? I know that toe out in the front helps a bit but how much is right?

Thanks,

-Alex

Standard stuff should work; softer (less air) up front, corner balance with more front bias, etc. Generally, you should be able to make significant changes with the tires alone on an optimally aligned Carrera.

Alex,

Just for fun, put a level on the front tire of your longhood and compare it to your Carrera. Which one has more negative camber?
