Matt Farah drives a FI TT 370z

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.

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.
