You could try winding off a tiny bit of lock which sounds counter intuitive but it helps the front end bite and actually tightens the turn. <<< I did learn something

One thing I did learn yesterday is that driving is best left on the track where it belongs.
Cheers for the tip

I agree, the track is the best/only place for that kind of pushing. Cars are insanely good by the standards of 20/30 years ago and almost anything is too quick to push on the road.

I'm really talking about bumbling around in a stream of average commuting cars, a more neutral balance/better front end bite would suit the car really well if they could/would engineer it that way. Perhaps the standard steering doesn't help and maybe I should have taken VSS as a few forum members tried to 'steer' me towards when speccing.
