If you really want to know then just remove your ps belt and try it for yourself. Its not that bad, just for drifting and autox (kinda).

I opted for no PS. It isnt that bad. Many drifters op for undrive or no power steering, gives a better road feel.

My Si is daily driven no PS, i like it that way, more power, better handling, but then it is onlt 2600lbs, and a 240 is going to be about 2800lbs so it will be a bit harder to to roll at lower speeds.

If your really wanting to know how it is going to be empty the rack of most of the fluid and disconnect the blet.-James

power stearing is a luxury feature...us 'race' cars have no desire for PS...Grip is at its extreme with no power stearing : )....but if you think your a drifter, keep the PS.....

I totaly agree with that.... If you THINK your a drifter, keep the PS.. and dont try to drift until you have an SR.. and thousands in suspension, and an LSD....
