I think it's the other way around. Your justifications are quite weak, and don't hold up at all.

You either have to remove the arms and mill some material away or get some offset bushings to get enough negative camber. I can get -4 degrees of front negative camber using only factory adjustments in my GT3.

Again, you didn't know your car.
The shims are for minor adjustments.
Yes, you can get milled steering arms, but easier than that is to move the strut up onto the top strut mount instead of the bottom one, giving you an immediate -2°.
Perfection for the front of a Lotus is -2.2°, which is easily achievable with $0 if you know what you're doing.

The experience of driving the Lotus compares very favorably to the experience of driving a similarly priced Porsche. In fact, better in most eyes.
And if you want to compare numbers, no problem there either, just put the same money into the Lotus as you have in the GT3 and you'll be there and then some.

Just because your posh Porsche has a windshield doesn't make it any more of a normal car. Race car to race car you lose, setting up the car on any track other than high-speed power-plays.
Not sure it's as obvious to everyone as it is to me, but you have no clue what you're talking about. Because you don't understand something means it can't be right?
That'll be my last reply to you.
