RobSheffield Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 i have noticed the past couple of days that steering is remarked upon as being vague, i wondered if any alternative to the standard set-up had been considered, i.e quickracks or some similar setup which uses different ratio? just a thought/observation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calorus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 **NECROMANCER** This is just a great question... Any answers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The steering on the mkiv is excellent compared to modern cars. It's better than the new 911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calorus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Popular opinion would argue that a steer-from-rear fork lift has better steering than the 911, but I wouldn't mind it being a fraction more pointy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that several times and can't work out what you mean. The 911 steering is excellent, but it's still vague compared to most older cars.

Calorus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Don't worry, I'm just being needlessly and exaggeratedly derogatory. Ignore it. The 911 has, to me the same issue as the Supra: dead around the straight ahead and not overly direct. I think the feel on the Supra, especially isn't bad, but I think it need a higher ratio -- it's a bit too light and a bit too vague, ideally a quick rack might sort both out somewhat -- if one were available.

Gaz6002 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I never had a problem with the Supra's steering. I thought it was pretty good actually, but then what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calorus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It's just taste, innit? I think it's a great all rounder but that the easy mid-town and stable high-speed gearing just mean I tend to have a to flail a little on the twisties and that it doesn't argue as much as it might.

Have you tried a smaller steering wheel? That makes quite a difference in that respect. There's an element of taste, but also a measure of experience and fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calorus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not on a Mark IV, but that was how I dealt with it on my last MkIII. It's an option, but given the choice I'd take a lower ratio rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
