turbolite:
That's a very good point. The car clearly has stunning engine performance but after adding performance extras worth 25 k Porsche is still not sure enough of the track performance of their new jewel as they have to send a 'tuned' version to the sportauto test. Even more worrysome as that the suspension modifications are not even on their price list...
If any other manufacturer would have sent such a car to a sportauto test, there would have been an outcry! 
See Porsche-Jeck's (and others') excellent response above. Camber change is the most basic and fundamental of changes to be done when a car is at the track. It's a step above adjusting the tire pressure 
. This is no complicated "trick" and most definitely nothing to "worry" about. http://www.ozebiz.com.au/racetech/theory/align.html (pardon me if you already know all of this).
But your post brings up another interesting point of discussion. In the old days, maybe there could exist a car that did well at both track and street level. In the 21st century, performance level has been raised to such a high level that nowadays IMO no single car could be expected to be both perfect-10 street and track car. If there is any doubt about this, ask yourself 20, or even 10 years ago how many daily-driver did the Ring in under 8 minutes. A dedicated track car could not be a reasonable street car, and a street car could not be an all-out track car. You will have to choose one or the other.
Understanding the mission of the Turbo, an all around mostly street, partly track car, is the same as understanding that you can't expect a minivan to take corners at 70 mph, or a motorcycle to carry 4 passengers. One has to understand and pick a car that fits one's needs, and this is why PAG has different models of cars.
Which car do you have? Is it 996 Turbo? If anything the 996 Turbo, based on spring rate data alone, might be even softer than 997 Turbo. And if anything, I have no doubt whatsoever for the 996 Turbo to be even reasonably acceptable at the track, one needs to increase the negative camber also. And I am sure there would be no "outcry." 
PS: Porsche-Jeck that's a gorgeous picture of your car in the signature. Perfect angle, beautiful background.
