Again, I’m not familiar with the platform, but -2.6 sounds like a lot for a soft street tire and a light car with stiff suspension, and your tire temps seem to reflect it.
It isn't enough camber, your Corvette double wishbone suspension needs much less static camber than the MacPherson Strut suspension on the 86. I've run -4 and seen/heard others with more for street tires.
