I didn't think you would actually use that for anything serious. I believe Tyler did a pretty similar alignment for a week or two until he had the car running well enough on MS to drive to the alignment place.

With an accurate measuring device and tools, it is not unrealistic to dial the toe in pretty tight. Unless you have a hookup at an alignment shop, the tech there has a fairly wide range as far as OEM specs are for toe. All he needs to do is get it in the green, and get the car out.
Last time I had my car aligned, the dumbass had the toe near the edges of the acceptable range. I could tell the difference when driving on flat pavement.
Doing it myself and taking the time, I am able to zero it in as tight as I want.

This.
Unless you have a friend that actually gives a crap running the alignment machine you won't get a better alignment than this method. There are several race shops out here that won't use a "standard" alignment rack because the tolerances are too far off for their needs.
Oh and when I mention race shops, I'm mostly talking about 3R Racing, they run in the Speed World Challenge and set up Porsche GT3 RSR's for ALMS and Rolex. http://www.3rauto.com/ My FIL is friends with the owners
