Default Quick ratio steering for a C5?

Has anybody ever heard of a quick ratio steering rack for a C5?
Thanks!

Our C5's can be called "twichy" already. The ratio is very high right now and when you add the overly stiff sidewalls of the OEM tires I cannot imagine having a higher ratio rack.

After diong a lot of autocrossing in a C4 with quick ratio steering, it is nearly impossible for me to get through a tight slalom in a C5. I cant turn the wheel fast enough each way to make it through in the same amount of time as in the C4. I have heard a lot of ZO6 owners complain of the same problem.

I haven't heard of one, but you might get more responses in the road racing and autocross section.
