An item worth noting is that the commonly used rake of the car subtracts from the caster. If the car is adjusted to a 1 deg rake angle (nose down), that's -1 deg caster over a level car (I believe factory specs are near level).
(Edited for correctness - thanks for catching that, Flieger!)
And as a point of general reference, lots of caster is not necessarily lots of mechanical trail. It is on a torsion bar 911. But by moving the spindle forward of the steering axis, it is (at least theoretically) possible to have lots of caster without having lots of mechanical trail and associated heavy steering.
