Improving Steering Feel
As well weighted and direct as the C4 steering is, it's never been imbued with an over abundance of feel. And no, this isn't an old car thing. I was driving new C4s and the full Porsche range back to back when they were all new in the late 80s and early 90s, the Porsches always communicated better through the steering.
Anyhow, I was curious to know if anyone was ever able to figure out what it was that filtered the feel out of the Corvette steering wheel. Is there anything that can be done to put it back?

Go to autocross forum and ask about suspensions and most importantly alignement.
I think allot of positive caster makes car seem stiff to steer, less caster easier. For example.
But start with factory alignment, new power steering fluid, proper tire pressure.
Then see what mods, adjustments need to be made .
We also have fatter tires with more weight on them than a porsche
