I couldn't find that thread. I checked before posting. But it's a second posting not a 50th so, no harm, no foul.

I just don't agree with his steering comment. The Z is perfectly weighted even at stock power. It's heft is needed to drive it correctly. I think the generation gap in handling perception is showing. Though I may possibly be younger. Some people move with trends while I tend to stick with what's tried and true.

The Z by comparison of 98% of AFFORDABLE sports cars has the best steering feel because it still feels completely analog at moderate to high speeds. But some people are really on the electric steering kool aid.

I get you on the electric steering, the versa note i had for a little over a year had it and while yes, it did feel quicker as far as steering goes, it still had no where near the steering feel the Z has

I think it got moved....

coming from e-power steering of Toyota's and such coming to the z did feel heavy. but it was heavy in a good way.

wasnt dat one of the things people didnt like about DAS? u gotta have direct mechanical connection.. no?

The biggest thing that her from race car drives and those that want have real one on one relationships with their vehicle...it's all about the feedback and e steering lacks that in spades!

There is a belief that e steering is the future where the technology will continue to evolve and the market will adapt just as drivers who own cars with e steering learn to adapt. Many of us expect and like the mechanical feedback but many future drivers will learn to like e steering.

And by doing that, the auto industry is creating one of the biggest detriments to the driving experience. Electricity is killing the excitement in driving.

I want my engine to sound like something and my steering wheel to feel like something.

Mercedes has uber quick steering while maintaining a hydraulic rack & pinion steering in the GTS. THat's why it won best drivers car and Porsche hadda take a backseat to the position.

I do agree with Raf though about it probably being a generational thang as well. All the video game kids are now driving cars and they are okay with not having that kind of feedback. I suck at those driving games because of that lol.

The Z is BEYOND better than the frs just stock, period. I love beating them on the track all the time haha.
