Just for the record, I set my Panteras with 1/16" toe out to improve neutral steering performance as compared to the car's built in understeer. While I'll admit not having tracked my Pantera's recently, I have racked up many circuits and plenty of track and street miles with this set-up. The Panteras' (plural) that I have set up with understeer do not exhibit dart like tendencies on the track straightaways or on the highways. I am sure they are more responsive to steering input, but not more squirrelly. I don't even follow the physics. Why should a front end respond differently to a steady straight input whether the wheels are 2 degrees in or out? Under both conditions, the wheels will be pushed fairly straight by compliance in the bushings and bearings. I've heard some try to ague the compliance only occurs with toe-in and not toe out. That is rubbish as well from my perspective.
