AWD steering feel,
one thing while owning the TT i noticed was the steering feel was completely different than the RWD 911's owned in the past... the steering feels very light and the only word i can think of is "spongey"...
i'm curious if this is because of the different geometry on the front suspension because of everything turned to fit the axles thru the middle... or if they change the steering box setup for the AWD models?
i have always heard people say "the AWD models drive differently" but never knew it would be such a difference.. it almost feels like the feeling you get from the servo steering in the 991's... very light steering feel.

same tires, same size wheels as my 997.2 and just a totally different feel.. my porsche shop said it's the front end geometry.. just wasn't sure if to blame the AWD susp differences or the fact those wheels have power going to them.
