You are spot on John and this is exactly what I am going to do - I plan to track the car and give up some turning radius on the street to move the tires out. On my 914 I severely limited the turning as it was truly track only and I never needed to go to my "new" lock position, so I was going to copy that into this car. That is how I got the fronts out as far as I did in the photos and could still turn "just enough" and juuuuuusssst barely not hit the fenders.
I started measuring the Vette suspension pieces on my car last night and man the lower A arms are long! 'Course that car is also super wide, it barely fit in my trailer to get it home. I will likely just custom make some arms and then adapt them to the Vette uprights, maybe consider C5 stuff to reduce the wheel height requirement.
