Default Steering turns lock to lock

Googled forever, yet can't find the spec for number of turns lock to lock on C7 Z06.
Anyone care to help a tortured soul? ☺️
Plus how's steering feedback in general on the new Z?

From the sales brochure - steering rotation : Lock to lock 2.57 turns.

Happy now?

Steering is pretty good for feel of road surface & relative grip thru the turns. There are different modes of steering relative to effort felt when turning selected thru selections such as Tour/Sport/Track, Tour being very lite & to some too easy to move the car side to side, Sport requires a touch more effort & Track a rather heavy feel, kinda like the power steering is operating at only 75% approximately. Are you thinking of a Z? Good luck if so in finding your special one.

That's so slow for a true sports car. 2.57☺️
My 204 C5zo6 is 2.66. Thought it'd be improved. Glad feedback is better though. My Z is pretty numb/vague.
Shame they haven't still rectified that. Trying to hit all markets of clientele . Not focused enough. Oh well.

Steering has variable ratio and is very responsive. I run on the street in Touring Mode and Track Mode on the track. I have had 2 C5s, 1 C6 and the C7 steering is better.
