Considering how over boosted and numb steering racks are in certain GM vehicles, does it matter?

I think the draw on those (hi po shoved in fwd) is effortless power and point and shoot ability in conditions typical of that encountered by the car buying public.

The old ones are cool. But I meant the mid 90's version of the SS

Member of the extend family has one.
Those cars still have road presence but outside of looks and sound need a lot of work to keep up with Camry in the next lane.

At the very least, if you are going to dump money into a car, they are cool candidates.

And there are plenty of those DONE up.

And they end up being fleet cars anyhow.

Considering how over-aggressive GM throttles typically are, for the first few millimeters of travel? Yeah I'd say so.

The only reason it's considered cool today is because it's rare.

Sorry..but that car is badass...

All these years of talking cars there have been plenty of examples where we've shown different preferences...

I tend to prefer older GM makes from the 70s, but gas is so fucking expensive here I can't see driving one.

The one I test drive has nearly 0 torque steer from a dead stop and hauled all the way to 100 very quickly.

It's in the torque converter. From my experience, the hydramatics tend to have a lower stall speed than the Jap counterparts. I'm not sure if it's a design issue with the Jap stuff tho.
