370z steering?
Out of curiosity, what is the steering ratio for 6MT sedans? How about for the 370?
I know the 6MT has a quicker ratio than the Journey, but it still feels a bit sluggish and I find myself doing 3-point turns where my RX8, of a similar length, would have just went. So I wonder if the 370Z would have a rack that would fit and would be even quicker.

OK, now that I parse through the mechanics of it, I get that. And the technical turning radius isn't much different than the '8.
I guess what I'm asking is, could I change the turning radius? As in, in far too many instances I'm hitting the steering stops and not being able to complete a turn. Like I'm driving a Crown Vic and not a sports sedan.

I cannot make a u-turn on a two lane road without running onto the shoulder. AFAIK and Carfax report, the car's never been in an accident but I suppose the steering rack could have been replaced.
The car has cheapo 20" rims on that that are pushed out to the wheel well lip (although not rubbing) - would that make a difference?
Looking underneath the car, nothing looked damaged or suspiciously newer than other parts. Springs and swaybars look OEM. Tie rod boots are in good shape so I've no idea if they've been messed with. Car tracks straight and no visible camber so I'm guessing alignment is close to norm. The tires feel a little buttery at highway speeds, but they are crappy tires and that is a known issue with them.
/ Getting tires on the OEM 18s as soon as I sell the gap car
// Will get alignment then too
