Did you get a chance to really drive it at all? I'de like to hear how the handling/steering feels.

I would be surprised if it didnt handle amazingly well when you can fit 345s on it

Haven't got it running 100% yet. I will street tune it then off to the dyno. Don't like pushing cars like this just incase something happens. I love the electronic power steering.

What car did the electric power steering come out of?

The ls1 rx7 guys have been looking for an electric ps pump for a while now.
