Factory suspension alignment

[CA Lightfoot]

Just got my new DSG '03 Mach 5-speed. 500 miles in 2 weeks. Omigod it's fast! And somehow I've kept it under 5k rpm during break-in. Jeez, so much low-end grunt. How do you guys NOT get a ticket everytime you get behind the wheel? Maybe it's my imagination but I think the Mach is some kinda cop magnet.

Steering wheel was a bit crooked, so I took it to a local alignment shop with an xlnt rep, been in business over 20 years. Manager said my alignment was right-on EXCEPT the toe-in (I think that's what he said) was 3/8 inch off. That's a lot, he said it was good I brought it in. I thought $25 well spent. Steering feels about the same, maybe a bit lighter & more responsive. Highway tracking was good & seems the same. Peace of mind way up.

Anyone with suspension alignment advise? Was the factory alignment best, should I have left it unchanged? I've been reading this website for months and don't recall any comments.

This is my first new V8 since the 5.0 in my long-gone '79 LX auto. That was just ok-fast. Nothing compared to the Mach. I just can't believe how fast the Mach feels.
