I can say this much, it handles differently - steering is more "snappy" from center to slightly off-center, if that makes sense.

Also, someone did some cruising in my car =/
I had a 1/4 tank when I dropped it off.
I picked it up with a 1/8th tank...and the CD was about 5 songs later!

lol...
Yes...You should ask for an alignment sheet. Too often dealers find it somewhere inside the broad spec and do nothing. You want it at the center spec or as close as you can get it. None of this Plus and Minus stuff. That and the joyride are another good reason to avoid the dealer on this unless they have a dedicated (and skilled) alignment guy. You'll usually find these guys at independents through referrals from satisfied customers or from your local auto-x club..

Here's the factory and After alignment on my last car (Vette) which is known to come off the production line with wonky numbers..

Or someone didn't like your music and was searching for a better song...lol. I like to test every Z in service before it leaves just to make sure it performs to my expectations.

I know they need to drive it to make sure something's not funky...but an 1/8th tank?

LOL

The alignment isn't centered in any way on the "after" sheet - they just brought it within tolerances.

The hard part is that I don't know any places in town that are dedicated enough to adjust it spot-on...

Thats why you should have told them the exact measurements you wanted, otherwise its half a waste of money.
