I feel like the stock GT rack on my 2003 is a sloppy turd piece of ****

id like a stiff, sports car feel to it. The car handles great but the steering is so loose/sensitive. Is there a power steering rack maybe with different valving as to get a tighter feel? or should I go the manual route and shed some pounds? Ive driven cars with manual racks and its not that bad.

I haven't heard of anyone swapping the rack. Why not give it a try and write a post on it?

Im very tempted, and willing to try it to maybe make it a popular mod, although these racks can be expensive..

Do you agree that the stock rack is rather sloppy and disconnected from the road??

I would think it would be pretty good. Flaming River makes some good solid equipment. Hear alot about 'em from when playing with muscle cars n hot rods.
