Thanks for you helpy guys! I really appreciate the input.

I am a steering feel freak; it's my #1 source of pleasure while driving sports cars.

I love feeling vibrations through the steering wheel as road surface changes. I also enjoy a heavy steering feel and when the steering wheel kind of turns by itself depending on road surface changes.

Cars that I thought the steering was just perfect are:

-Lotus Elise: perfection.

-1989 Porsche 911: very close to a Lotus Elise, but a little slower to turn-in due to chassis.

-My 2000 Boxster S. More assisted steering than the Elise and 1989 911, but still fantastic for a power-assisted rack.

I'm trying to decide between a 2007 Boxster S, 2006 Lotus Elise or 1997 NSX.

What I love about my Porsche Boxster S is that even when driving at 10 MPH in the city I still get a kick of how the chassis and steering communicate through my hands that grip the steering wheel.
