I mean... this is business. I hate shady dealers, and there's oftentimes more of them than not, which is why I always enter these dealings with my guard up.

Dude, I was unimpressed with the steering feel of the GT4 as well. I mean, too lazy to look up the rack ratio, I mean its quick compared to most cars, but felt not as quick as an AP1 or a twin.

Agreed, however he has mentioned a few times how the s2000 has great steering feel. It is precise, quick, and direct, but feel is not something it's known for.

Can't complain about ADMs if you celebrate haggling a lower price. Frankly I wish we just sent to a fixed price system.
