Tradeoff's, tradeoff's.
I run zero toe in front to get a tad better turn-in, minimize tire scrub, and maximize straight line speed - its a good trade off between speed, turn-in performance, and straight line stability.
Front toe out will improve turn in but at the expense of straight line speed and stability.
Rear toe out? Turn in can be even quicker (this is similar in character to most four wheel steering systems, e.g., the new GT-3). But since the toe out is fixed (not varying in proportion to the steering input) it results in crazy handling because anytime that the car starts any amount of rotation (intended or not), the toe out wants to drive the rear end around even further resulting in oversteer in both directions. Tank slappers are easy to induce.
