Default heavy steering

I read an article about the c5 vette once, and they complained that the steering was really heaving while turning at speed making the driver think the car is really struggling when in reality it isnt.

my TA is the same way. do you guys have the same thing? if not im going to see about fixing it..... i feel like my elantra handles better than my TA does [&:]

exactly.... the steering makes it feel really nimble, but u can feel that body roll over bigtime. my car is lowered and has stiff suspension on it, it should handle like a freaking dream, but i feel like im gunna lose it because the wheel starts getting hard to hold on to (reletively)

yep. i know exactly what you're talking about. my dad's vette does it and so did my camaro. i have no idea how to fix it, but i hear that the fact that they have bad understeer has something to do with it. it's funny.. my dad has the sport steering in his hemi, and that thing feels more nimble than his vette..[&:]
