Cars i've had with great steering feedback:
FRS/86
E36 M3 > E46 M3
991.2 GT3
458 was accurate... but extremely boosted and very light. most ferrari's are like this which i'm not a fan of.
GTR and F80 steering feedback was pretty forgettable. both very accurate though.

Sad to hear that about the 458.... as it's on my list of cars to own one day. Either that or an F430.
What I don't get is, while I understand making cars like a 330 or a 540 with light steering devoid of feel... why does that have to transfer over to the M cars? Why can't an M3 have as much steering feedback as the older M cars?
