Question How much toe-in is regular on GSL-SE rear?

Just like the subject says: How much toe-in is regular on GSL-SE rear?

I went and looked at an SE that had been hit on the driver-side rear wheel. It was definitely pointing in, but how much is normal?

I later went and looked at a GS and noticed it also had some toe-in.

Should be ZERO Toe in.

Note that the FB is kinda "torpedo" shaped when looking at it from above.
It is slightly thinner at the rear.

This picture isnt the best - as this one has a wide three piece tail.

If the car has rear toe in, then it has MAJOR problems. The rear end has a live axle, not the independent suspension of later RX-7's.
