Driving Impressions Reply #31 – March 21, 2011, 12:17:14 AM Geesh if you guys want really easy steering drive a 75 Thunderbird. Pinky finger steering at it's finest . Quote Selected
Driving Impressions Reply #32 – March 21, 2011, 07:18:18 AM The easiest car to steer that I have owned was a 65 Plymouth fury. Huuuge car, one finger steering. The tightest steering I have driven was my 94 geo metro with manual rack. Talk about swerving potholes! You'd lose that car in a pothole. I hit a groundhog once and it felt like I ran over a 3ft boulder- POW! Quote Selected
Driving Impressions Reply #33 – April 16, 2011, 05:06:22 PM Quote from: sarjxxx;355859I agree. My brother-in-law's got an Integra which is lowered to about 3" from the ground and its a 5 speed. Its his daily. There is no way I could stand to drive it everyday. Its too harsh, you have to be wary of every pothole and runoff gulley and every driveway/parking lot that crosses a sidewalk. Not to mention having to use the 5 speed in Orlando traffic every day would just get ridiculous. I like my boat of a Cougar, and I love the way it sticks to the ground even without having to be close to it:p hehe! That describes my old Daily Driver to a tee! :D (Attached)'94 Integra, lots of suspension work and drove like it was on rails - nothing I own will likely ever handle as good as that thing did. The WS6 handled great too. Either way, I still love my Thunderbird and as someone else said nothing else has ever felt as good as it to me. Quote Selected
Driving Impressions Reply #34 – April 17, 2011, 01:03:25 AM I don't know why you guys all complain that your cars wander and do all this stuff. My car even before I did the suspension never did any of that, It always felt like it was on rails. Of course my car wanders now, but I know what thats from, the inch of toe out and 3.5* of camber in the front end. I doubt any car as near to stock suspension wise could be much better. I have a supercoupe also, but I truly hate that car. Rides like a boat and doesnt handle nearly as good as my TC. I always end up turning the steering too fast at an autox so I sit wayy back in the seat. Steering is real responsive too, as in if you move the wheel at all you're changing lanes! Quote Selected
Driving Impressions Reply #35 – April 22, 2011, 07:36:25 PM Mine doesn't wander at all. It goes right where I point it. I just wish it had more road feel through the steering wheel. It's seems really over-boosted. Quote Selected

Funny, I have plenty of road feel in the Mark, maybe I have a worn out rack, or maybe the extra weight makes that much difference, but when I drive my buddy's '86, it has that over-boosted feel, like I could spin the steering wheel Price is Right style with almost no effort.
