steering questions
I test drove the new 430 and I was impressed. I currently have an L-tuned '03 430.
Question #1 How is the steering at speeds with the new car? The older models feel loose even when L-tuned. Have they tightened the steering at higher speeds?
I know the new 430 has a 53/47 weight distribution. Does anybody know the weight distribution of the 2nd gen 430? I have always felt my 430 to be front heavy at speeds. Has that improved?

Looks like the 1SICKREVIEW didn't cover the weight distribution question.
It's 53.7/46.3 for the 2nd-gen GS430 according to the Toyota PR:

The 3rd-gen GS430...according to the following specification PDF, it's 54/46 not 53/47
