@adrs2k: Change your alignment setting and you'll solve the understeer problem (not completely).

I'm going to gloat that I was faster on 225 front and 255 rear tires than psychoazn on Buttonwillow, but I totally suck on non-stag (a couple seconds slower than psychoazn) so I can't comment about non-stag setup alignment.
If non-stag is not an option:
Run 225/45/17 front tires. 0 toe front and 1/16" total toe-in rear. Front camber needs to be more than rear camber. You want at the very least -2 in the back.

^ Why do you think the CR has more toe from the factory compared to all other models? It seems that with the added toe you can get on the power sooner and not have to worry about over steer, but the car seems to have more under steer and is less willing to rotate because of it.

The aero also seems to have a greater effect on the rear than the front.
Anyone else seeing a trend here?

Ya mean they designed this car to be driven hard
After tracking my '04, and having only driven my CR on the street so far, I think the CR is going to be awesome on the track!
What toe are you non-staggered guys running? On my '04 with 245/255 combo, I ran .30" total toe in on the rear, and the car still was very loose. Stock bars, and 10k springs all around.
