Power steering feels like almost none

Power steering feels like almost none
I'm looking for a 97-02 Camaro and the 2002 z28 that I just drove has very heavy steering. The used car dealer says they're all like that. Are they, or is there a common seal failure that causes the difficult steering?
Do 1993 to 2002 all share the same steering set up? If so I can find another Camaro to try out.

No, failed seals are not common. The later Z28's have tighter racks then the earlier base models. To compare feel you want to drive a 98-2002.

the power steering pump relief valve can fail. the pump housing is part of the valve and if it gets worn it will make steering tough. it could have a manual rack conversion on it.
