I agree with Whip, the 986 DOES translate MORE road feel than any car I have yet to drive, except for a 911 that I wrecked on a one block test drive! I could REALLY FEEL the road then - when I wadded it up on a curb!

The 986 feel was a bit unsettling, at first. Now, it is like a glove. Exact pressure results in predictable response form the car. Going from a highly sensitive "over-powered" steering system back to the box makes you drive differently-like you were still in the other car-at first.

You may even want the 986 to be more over-responsive, until you get used to "precise" steering again. Then, you can merrily be on your way at 100+mph wondering why you even bothered comparing the two.

Dialing in the suspension was one thing no one mentioned….but that is another thread!
