Odd that they complain about steering feedback. I come from an '05 BMW M3 which supposedly has some of the best steering around and I can't say I notice much difference. Yes, the M3 steering was marginally better, but really nothing major.

Interesting comment. I think the Boss/Mustang steers just fine but it lacks feedback from my perspective.

I'll go a step further, the current Mustang is almost completely devoid of feedback. Weighting is great, and after a short time behind the wheel you seem to somehow know what is going on up front even though you can't really feel it through the steering wheel. For electronic power steering it seems to be really well executed, but the hydraulic steering on the 2010 GT was much better.

I think the new GT is almost the F-16 of the Mustang world, it does a great job in going electronic, but you still know something was lost in transition good as it is.

The lack of feedback is mitigated by the car being so well balanced and the rear communicative of when it's going to step out. I'm really impressed with how well behaved the rear of the car is although every once in a while, ususlly over a small sharp bump under power, I get reminded that it's a live axel.

Agree 100%..I was used to driving a Shelby GT,steering feedback is definately different on the Boss.

The feedback is fine for me. Came from and e46 m3 as well, which certainly had a heavier feel. But the newer e90 m3 I drove felt more like the modern Boss, lighter. The Boss is not a go kart, it has more refinement than we give credit for.
