I think good steering feel will go a long way for compensating against this car going so far outside my preferred weight range.

This whole feel in the wheel thing is one of my main concerns, other than knowing if I'll fit in it with the sun roof! (6'4) I love a nice heavy feel, with quick response! Also if I run over a pebble in the road, I want to know by the feeling in the steering wheel just what part of the tire ran over it. (At least which third, or better yet, which quarter of the tire took that pebble!!!)
That's what I love about that old WS6 T/A of mine!!! One other thing that does concern me is the steering ratio. My old Trans Am has the (constant) ratio 12.7-1 gear box, (2.25 turns lock to lock). I just read that these 2010's have a steering ratio (variable) of 16.1-1. The jury is still out as to whether or not I'm going to be able to live with that?!!! I really think at the very least, the SS's should have had a better ratio than what we're getting!!! At least it's got a 2.5 turns to lock...which isn't what I'm used to, but better than alot of other cars.
