According to the write-ups. the 992's steering is 10 percent quicker than the 991's-- except if you have rear axle steering, in which case the improvement is 6 percent. This seems counter-intuitive. I would think that rear axle steering would be better than the standard set-up in this regard. Anyone have an explanation?

just a guess, but i think it means the front needs to be less quick to account for the rws. so the front is 4pc less quick but overall the car may turn more at lower speeds (due to rws). in high speeds with rws both sets wheels turning in same direction rws may turn less and be more stable than non rws.

I believe it's only 6% faster because it's from a faster starting point. I think it's relative to the respective 991.2, where RAS already had faster steering.

At least that's what I remembering thinking when I read about the 992 updates a while back.

10% more direct steering input compared to the previous gen. Can’t speak for RAS

992’s without RAS have a 10% improvement over 991’s without RAS. 992’s with RAS have a 6% improvement over 991’s with RAS. You could argue that the 992 without RAS is as direct as the old 991 with RAS. Regardless, RAS does make the 992 6% more direct, not to mention the improvements in nimbleness at low speeds and stability at higher speeds, which is where I notice it the most.

This thread is comical. I mean no offense...

I FINALLY signed up to Rennlist after YEARS of lurking. I love this website. Mucho Gusto.

But I have to point out BS misinformation. I guess I'm the misinformation police now. Good. Everyone can hate me.

I owe a lot of my knowledge to these type forums and want to keep the communities honest.

Reality...

There is no GT3 steering software magical fix. What are you trying to fix?

The front suspension of the GT-3 is a double wishbone setup. THE OTHER CARS DON"T HAVE IT.

It's taken Porsche a very long time to come to the reality in a semi mass produced car with front double wishbone.

I had a 98 type R with it.

There is no GT3 Setting. You can't recreate geometry with a software recalibration.

I might recommend some continued lurking as your post has nothing to do with this thread.

It’s actually the other way around. Look at the chart posted above, the RAS cars have a more direct (lower) ratio than non-RAS cars. The ratio is however only more direct at lower lock angles, at greater than ~180deg lock they are both very similar. Here, I’d guess that the improved high speed stability brought by the RAS allows for the more direct ratio.

There’s nothing wrong with the steering of the 992, whether you have RAS or not. It’s not overboosted. It’s not flighty. It has great feedback. It requires no attention or improvement.

I would recommend taking an HPDE class or any other performance oriented driving class. You will get a lot more out of improving your own skills and build a better understanding of what’s going on with the car.

I don't think that much about it. The steering is still no where as quick as the MINI Cooper S I replaced with my 992. However, the steering of the 992 is still a lot quicker than the huge understeer that was dialed into my G-model 1987 Carrera in the dim past.
