Yea I'm in that boat. I'm an enthusiast but really one of the reasons I choose this car over others is refinement. I don't really want the feedback. I don't really mind if it's a bit 'numb'. I want smooth. I want steady.

I think we have very different opinions on what constitutes "good steering".

Same goes with the new nsx when people complained it felt anemic and was boring to drive. Maybe for them it is, but for me, anything north of 400 HP would be a blast to drive. Plus they get paid to complain about shit that most of society would never even consider an issue.
so what north of 400hp cars have you driven?

As answered by Spaceman. They're not exactly rare anymore these days. My car will soon enough be just touching into the 400hp area. But thanks for being a smart guy

so you have never driven one, thanks for clearing that up. whenever whatever you drive touches 400hp make sure to post up your dynos.

Either way, in my mind, it's a great system. Feels fantastic to the hands!
370z is hydraulic steering.

I have a G37 with the sport package and it has a tighter steering rack ratio. The non-sport G37 models get the standard sloppy steering rack that's not as responsive.

I think the 370z also comes with 2 different steering ratios depending on the options.

The tighter rack paired with front & rear hotchkis sway bars makes this car feel like a go kart compared to my 08 TL with coilovers and 24mm progress rsb upgrade.

Steering is so precise and good feedback. You slightly turn the steering wheel and it turns nicely

Turning radius is awesome. Surprises me how a car this size has such a small turning radius.

TL steering is nothing special. It's not quick, it's not tight. It's just normal, like a Camry. I drive one everyday so I can attest to that.
A comparable car that has much better steering - Lexus IS250/350. Go try it.

youre a dumb fuck. I said MY car will touch 400hp, soon enough. That doesn't mean I haven't driven anything north of that. Yes, because I don't know a single person with a muscle car, or the likes

and no one said anything about 400whp. if you want dynos, you can use your tongue to reach them, right underneath my nut sack. Piss off.
