I used to do it on a track only car, and its not really an issue. I actually liked the way the steering felt with that method best.
My current car has me in all sorts of crazyness trying to find a bit of slope in the steering wheel. So far replaced the shaft/Rag/and Rack, there is still a small amount of slop in the wheel.
I can move the wheel about an 1" in both directions before the wheels go, like a dead zone. I wish I knew someone close by with a stang to see how there's is.

^^^^^ Lucky, didn't I read a post where your arms are as big as the wheels on the car no wonder you cant feel a difference ... LOL
to the O/P I like the effort it take to turn the wheels better then the mush feeling with the P/S the feel of the road is just better. cant you feel the road in your steering and the way the car rides and handles?

Power is nice if you plan on doing AutoX or road racing a lot, having only 1 hand on the wheel in hard corners with no power while you shift can fatigue your arms after a while, otherwise you get a gearbox with a good ratio, but then you have to turn the crap out of the wheel.
