In my fat tired 2900lbs RSA its a workout for sure!

Yeah, it has alot to do with the different suspension geometry too (something about negative scrub radius required to work with ABS brakes).

Even a +3,000 pound 930 is easier to steer than a lighter RSA on same tires...

Manual steering on my light 911 is even lighter than most power-steering equipped 911's, once over 5 mph (but feel is far increased).

Some factory-fresh street-legal 1973 Carrera RSR 2.8's would be pretty neat.

Yeah I reckon Harry must be up to something. Haven't heard much about him for a long while!

Grant. Its a nice idea but suspect they would start at $1MM and make Singer 3.9L look like a bargain!
