I must say, I do prefer driver's cars to have quite heavy control weighs with maximum feedback. Much as my Box is a lovely machine, the control weights are way too light and the steering is over rated in terms of feel. Yes, there's much mroe feel than a typical modern car, but the fact is that it's still pretty numb.

Also, when did power steering become standard? Did it come insome time on the SC? Are all Carrera 3.2s PS. And what about the Carrera 3.0?

Many thanks.
It was added in the 964. As with anything Porsche changes, the purists were unhappy. The 964 is heavier than previous models, especially the awd cars so they felt it was necessary.
