I've driven a relative's 993 quite a bit, and find the steering feel on that to be similar to my FRS in some situations, but quite different at others.

Similarities: good feedback and good weight/effort under cornering.

Differences: the 911 gives A LOT more feedback over bumps back to the wheel, the FRS rarely ever grabs the wheel and turns it over a bump. This could be suspension geometry, or it could be the electric assist fighting the feedback from the front wheels, can't say for sure. Another difference is weight/effort near center at highway speeds. The 911 is too light for my taste at ~120km/h, it feels more like my wife's camry on the highway.

As for disabling the PS entirely, the rack is a very quick ratio and you'll hate your life. I rolled mine out of a driveway without starting it and it's WAY tougher to steer than any other car I've ever owned rolling out of the same driveway.
