My 370Z's steering is A LOT lighter than my 350Z's.

Having said that, it also depends on which 370Z you drive. The one I first test drove had 18s, which are heavier than the forged Rays and have a fatter sidewall, so its steering felt heavier, naturally.

Edit: Also tire pressure. A lot of these cars sit outside in the freezing cold and overtime PSI falls below 30s, which also makes steering heavy.

I miss my heavy steering wheel of the 350z.
