Second, I owned an S2000, and own a 370Z, and IMO he Z has far more feedback than the S2000. Your opinion is the opposite. Isn't that fun? I guess we should start calling each other fanboys now.





No comment.
No fanboyism here, just objective commentary that is largely considered accurate by folks that have driven both.

There's of course a major variable- what year s2000 did you have?

Fixed. People get those words mixed up all the time.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Steering wheel feedback can be, has been, and will continue to be objectively quantified utilizing statistical methods. There's no way EPS systems would be as good as they are without effective methods for analysis.

Crazy, what were they quantifying? Opinions? Is there a formula for measuring steering feel?

Perhaps you are confusing feedback (his words) with feel (your words)

Feedback is objective, feel has both objective and subjective components.

I am having a tough time finding a definition of steering feedback. I found an article that seems to equate the two concepts.

What is "steering feel" or "steering feedback? - Ask.cars.com

I also found some kinda interesting papers on objectively measuring steering feel. Maybe when the industry comes up with a standard measure we can get somewhere on this.

Maybe there already is a standard? Both feedback and feel both certainly seem to have been subjective measures for quite some time.
