or am i hallucinating? it seems like my power steering goes out the window at higher speeds, i've heard this is due to power steering assist but i havent seen many threads on it. I assume im the only one who feels as though its strange?

Nope, I definitely feel it, freaked me out the first time I felt it too. Glad to know I'm not alone lol. I think it has to do with progressive power steering (PPS). Personally I don't like it at all. I like my steering to be the same no matter what speed I'm at.

So you guys want to beable to move your steering wheel at 70+mph with your pinky finger?! Unsafe if you ask me, and there for a reason. If the SC wasnt so heavy when not in motion, I would remove power steering all-together.
Just this. I haven't had PS in my current SC3 5Spd for about 3 years. I have no complaints and my car is still manageable at low to no speed. Next to come out is A/C and heat.

^ Why didn't you just go buy a Supra? LOL. This is the 4th 5 Spd i've owned, since I'm opening a shop I'm going in a different direction with this one. I'll more than likely purchase another one and build a complete street car. This one is being thrown onto the track.

I have no problems with the PPS, I'm just super used to my super responsive steering in my supra that allows me to drift curves at 80 mph. true story.

Well I guess that makes sense. Don't need AC if it's a track car. You'd be surprised how many people take off heat and ac who daily their cars... and that is beyond me.Originally Posted by TougeSC3

who needs safety features when crashing at 173 is so much more fun!
I can't drive my car past 61mph with out the wheel feeling like it's going to shake off the god damn hub.
