As long as it isn't an R, you should be able to get a little bit off...

Anyone know if they're making any changes on the 2018 to address the steering?

don't think there are any mechanical changes to the 2018. Not that I know of anyway. What did you want addressed on the steering? Feel, tram lining?

Default Happy Father's Day!

I signed up to take the Ford driving school (UT) today thinking I'd get Father's Day off. Big mistake; family had better Father's Day plans for me, so I was a no show at the driving school...

Happy to be home.

nizer , there are no steering issues. i find it to be pretty lively, not as lively as a cup or RS, but most say its the alignment, its definately an edgy alignment. at a solid pace , carving around turns, thing is money. at medium speeds, it feels edgy. not sure i can describe it any other way.
i have zero issues with it, other than well, me love the 911 and 991 steering feel and would like it replicated. my camaro was way worse, way more numb around town, at full pace, it felt right.

Well stated SPG, similar experience on this end. Steering in the GT350 is very alive and feedback is direct, especially for a large vehicle it's very much like a go-kart. I'm approaching 19,000 hard miles now on my GT350 and it's fantastic. Flat Plane Crank is holding up great, I remember there were people here who wanted to see some miles put on them before they made the purchase. I've actually retired my Porsche from daily driving and made the GT350 the daily work horse, tough, reliable and highly entertaining.

New toy....very excited. I've had a 991 turbo S and two 991 GTS' (one manual and one PDK), but always wanted a GT3. Never could pull the trigger on the GT3 for two reasons. First, no back seats for kiddos. Second, real or not, the engine issues. Anyway, hoping the GT350R carries the load for awhile. I realize it's no 911. But love the engine, exhaust and manual.
