Bad wheel alignment = slower G?

Hello! Not noticing any sluggishness from my G, but I was wondering if this is possible. Always wondered. With the probability of the tire(s) not fully and equally coming in contact with the ground, is it possible to notice a slower acceleration/speed in general because of this? Even the slightest whatsoever?

TIA.

Possible? Yes.
Would you feel it? Highly doubtful unless you make hundreds of passes down the drag strip in your G and become very familiar with the feel.

You would notice a slight fuel mileage loss more than a lack of acceleration.

If your toe is really out of spec your tires will be putting up a fight going down the road rather than rolling smooth as they should. Probably only noticeable if this was a sudden change, but mainly through the rapid tire wear you'd be seeing.

10 4, thanks for the replies. I ask because I wanted to bring my G to the track to get some stock runs in before I do a couple mods this weekend, but need an alignment and have no time to do so between work. Wasn't going to go if a bad alignment made a mentionable difference on times, but if not...
