How different are low speed maneuverability and high speed stability between the Subaru rack and the modified Mustang unit?

For the street driver, do you have a preference?

If you do a lot of city driving or parking, have a spouse with limited upper body strength, or have gotten really soft, the slower ratio would be best. For real men , the faster ratio is quite acceptable. We used the faster ratio for many years without significant complaints.

Thought I read somewhere it was in the planning stages, but did ERA ever get a chance to test electro-mechanical variable assisted steering systems?

Thanks,

I've done some research on them, but mostly for our GT which has the steering wheel at arms length and uses a faster steering ratio. The 427 has never cried out for such a complicated fix, especially with the slower ratio gear which feels very close to power. KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) is a good basis for kit design...
