As I mentioned prior, I set to MINIMUM factory specs.... My front and rear total toe is around 10' (1/6th of 1 degree TOTAL, 1/12 of a degree on each side) F camber (-12', +/- 20' spec) has a tolerance that allows for positive camber. I don't like positive camber, and set to around -10' (1/6th of 1 degree). I actually mounted a dial indicator and adjusted the rear camber adjusters to the minimum camber. It checked around -1 degree 20' (1.33 degrees) during alignment. Camber with minimum toe will not wear the inner edge of the tires. Camber and excessive toe eats the inner tire edge.

Toe in. Front and rear. More in the rear.

Why on earth would I want to setup my vehicle so that it wants to swap directions with the least provocation?

This way you won't chew up your tires and you'll have that directional responsiveness you're looking for.  In all seriousness, if you want more responsiveness, add negative camber and set the toe in to minimum specs all around.

Understand that I don't agree with go-cart handling on a street vehicle also.
My posts in this thread were strictly "the first step" in setting up a vehicle for improved response/reduced deflection/reduced tire wear (less tire scrub for improved hwy mpg). My alignment settings are strictly street specs. My X will see it's first track days during the Sebring 12 hrs speed week.
