IT should really think about welcoming Older SM's....... Without a new class..

I liked having power steering in my Honda. Sure is a workout to drive my Miata at times. With an injured shoulder, big bend at LRP is tough on it.

Again, I know this is completely irrelevant to the current discussion, but in the ITS RX7, where you
have a choice between a stock manual rack and a stock power steering rack, there is a major difference
in the effort needed because of the difference in ratios:

Steering Specifications (Manual Steering)

Type: rack and pinion
Overall Ratio: 20.3:1
Turns (lock to lock): 3.5
Turning Circle: 32.2 feet

Steering Specifications (Power Steering)

Type: rack and pinion
Overall Ratio: 15.2:1
Turns (lock to lock): 2.7
Turning Circle: 32.2 feet

So, allowing depowered racks would allow a "difference" for the RX7, but it
could be argued whether it is a desirable difference or not... I say not
