Steering Selection
Stuff they don't tell ya...
So I've been experimenting with the steering sensitivity settings. Because this is the most technologically advanced car I've owned, clicking buttons is my input and the results, my learning. So far, I haven't blown anything up...LOL
I found that the steering set at the highest level is quite firm requiring more physical input. I'm assuming because of the faster driving and g forces in track environments, you'd want this.
I'm finding that in lowest setting for normal around town driving both cruising and spirited that this setting is quick, easy and not overly sensitive.
Braking, engine sound, shifting, etc...pretty straight forward.....this C8 is certainly not my 64 vette...thank goodness, well from my perspective.

Quite simply, the steering wheel provides input to a computer that manages an electric motor to actually operate the steering gear.... it is a joy stick... any "feel" you experience is simulated by software, so theoretically a good software engineer can write a program that makes your Corvette "feel" like a 1935 Alfa Romeo Grand Prix car.... but its all synthetic.
