Why the hate for the Electric Steering?

....and that's a serious question.

Works just fine (in operation AND "feel") on my wife's G6 for the last 2 years, and less parasitic drag on the engine means more to the wheels. I'm all for it.

Overall I like the ss but I see why some people like the 5.0 but it's 2 ugly to own lol

I have driven the 5.0 manual. I liked it. I had to get the Camaro though. I wouldn't rule out the Mustang as my next car though.

I could have sworn that the camaros had electric Power steering assist too.

A failing hydrolic system will usually have some warning signs. Mushiness, stickiness, fluid on the ground.

Electronics can just flake out suddenly at inopportune times. I especially don't like the idea of fighting the electric motor if it's getting a stray "signal" to turn the other way.

I've seen enough electrical gremlins in cars over the years where computers suddenly go on the fritz ... "check engine" llights for no reason, "fasten seatbelt" lights while the seatbelt is fastened ... I don't want any of that stuff happening in the steering system.

I like Mustangs, (except anything made from 71-04), I had an 05 and 08 GT, but as someone else said, the new rear end reminds me of Celicas, just as the 94-04s did. Its a shame, the front end redesign is great. Ive read nothing but great things about it, but for my taste its just too small looking. (along with the back end debacle)

vuduman67 · 04-20-2011, 11:31 PM

My cuz just bought a 2011 grabber blue gt with the california edition package, Its a bad A$$ car, and the california package really helps with the rear end looks. I took it for a spin and it is very sweet, but....... I love my Camaro way better! Looks and the way it drives, may not be as fast, but I like it better

CloudXTC · 04-20-2011, 11:32 PM

here we go again...
some like apples... some like bananas...

its ok... good for you man

I've got a 600 whp kenne belle twin screw 03' Cobra with less than 6k miles on the setup and under 14k total miles. Garage queen and needless to say its a piece of shit... can't even carefully shut the doors without them sounding like their falling off. Hence the reason for my SW 10' 2SS which is on its way to a 500whp n/a build...

It's my opinion I'm not gunna argue with anyone about it I own both...
