But I have to disagree on the driving feel. A thinner wheel with less insulation transmits more feed back. It's first enjoyment you pick up on with an older sports car.
But more padding also filters out more of the jarring. I guess for a grand touring cruiser like a newer 911 Turbo it's a better fit. For an older 911 Turbo, or any 911 for that matter, I'd go with a thin steering wheel.
Totally agree. From a performance standpoint, I find you get more feedback from a thinner wheel and for me, makes the car feel more sporty. A big, cushy steering wheel reminds me of a big cushy car. It's a mental thing. Great for a DD where you slap on the cruise and let the car do all the work, but for the thrill of driving, you want to feel the car as much as you can.
