What's up with that RC-F steering wheel? Looks like it belongs on the S.S. Minnow.

So you guys really don't mind that road-feel disconnect of full on electronic steering? IMHO... Steering feedback is so HUGE in the driving experience. I really appreciate the fact that, Infiniti is the Only company that made full on electronic steering for the Non sport Q50. And the Sport Q50 still has the hydraulic unit. Steering & Suspension feedback rule my world. Though the Z is numb at 8degrees R/L TDC at low speed... There's plenty of feedback during performance maneuvers and at high speed.

It's the main reason why I'm so anxious for the next gen Z and GT-R. Nissan seems to understand that performance needs to be increased without deleting the senses of the vehicle in motion. GTR, thankfully brandishes a draully. All the new sports cars took a hit on numb to no steering feel for a smidge more accuracy.
The only car thus far truly benefitting performance-wise from a full-on electronic steering is the C7. Yet I notice all reviews don't touch the subject on the C7 at all, so my statement may be inaccurate. The truth will come out in reviews, the second or third model year like with the toyobaru twins.

I just know the mustang steering feel is the worst of any sports car and is an instant deal breaker. (elec-steer)

From the M235 to the Z, you guys don't find elec steer a dull drive experience?
