I have become sooo used to the "go cart" quickness of the steering (ratio).... that it seems like all other cars sort of suck in comparision (including the new m3...at least to me, for the 4-5 miles I drove it)...
I think the integra Type R is close, but it seems like every other car has more turns lock-to-lock.???
I know my wife's SUV certainly is like driving a Semi!

heh.. I know exactly what you mean....
I drove a friend of mine's Z06 Corvette at a recent autocross... I told him "boy this car is great... but the steering is so slow!". Of course then I jusmped back in my S2000 and found myself saying "man... this car has no power!"

Hmm-
The newest WRX STi has very good edge to edge capabilities- I would say better than the S2000.
The Elise is there too.
the VGS spec is actually supposed to be slower... at speed.

)The shortest I know is the Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider ... at 1.8 lock to lock.
I'll check later on to be sure, but from memory it's something ridiculous like that.

Scot! am i seeing things or did you say you drove the new ///M3! as in the E46 333hp i-6 with 262lbs torque! where and when did you get to see and drive one? how was it in comparision to the s2k, in terms of power? im not a s2k trader or anything but the e46 was my first choice although im sure that its asking price is not goin to agree with my dads wallet! BTW was the mark-up on the msrp really bad, how much was it?

DJHohum,
A BMW dealer in my area received two M3s last week. They are asking $53K (w/ factory options) and both were pre-sold (~50-60 people on their waiting list, mostly owners with E36 M3s).
