Do you ever get used to steering by wire,

Why not? You are adding resistance that was not engineered to be there. Unless I misunderstood what you meant.

Must be nice being able to lift a wheel with just your pinky. Haha

If even possible, we would be adding physical resistance to the sensor, literally desensitizing it.

Think of it as a ratio (torque per unit angle sensor rotation)/(torque per unit angle pinion rotation)

If the reaction spring in the sensor is stiffened, the ratio increases, thereby decreasing assistance.

OK I totally misunderstood what coupling you were talking about! Now it makes sense.

That torque, though. At least it has an arm-rest.

Yep, 3,000 ft/lbs of torque at 240 rpm ........

I wanted this, two RR Merlin cylinders. Magazine dude who rode it says it was nearly unusable because of the torque.

Is that what a blip of the "go" pedal is for?

Mine didn't have that. Didn't look near that pretty either. I don't think there are any pictures of it that still exist since it was back when you didn't take 1,000 pics a day. I wish I did have a pic of the 351 engine that was crammed into that doghouse between the seats. It was a sight that had to be seen to be believed.
