Default GT3/RS Steering Ratio

How do you like the steering ratio in the GT3 or GT3 RS? Are they the same? Are the ratios the same for 997.1 and 997.2?

I found the 997.1 RS ratio to be 17.1:1 to 13.8:1, and 2.6 turns lock to lock. My E92 M3 has a fixed ratio of 12.5:1 and 2.4 turns lock to lock, which feels great. Still waiting for my car to arrive so just wanna get an idea of how you guys like the ratios.

Steering ratio of some other cars:
M3 E92: 12.5:1
RS4: 13.1:1
C63: 13.5:1
M3 E46: 15.4:1

Bump, i need answers. I suspect my turbo rack is different. Reminds me of when i had my e46 m3. I had the blue tag comp/csl rack. Regular m3 was slow and spongey. People would swap zhp rack aswell.

Yes i did, but do i trust pet? No.
there seems to be several different pns.







first picture is from gt3 parts diagram
second is from turbo/turbo s/gt2rs
and third picture is a seller on ebay claiming the rack he has fits all models. I also see some cheap racks with the 08 ending pn for cheap. Which makes me weary if there is any real differences.
