I’m looking at small blocks to try to mitigate some of that sensation.

I am a whitewater kayaker. I have been running whitewater for about 35 years. Mostly here in the Southeast, but plenty of trips to the Salmon in Idaho and other great rivers. Most fun was a two week trip (225 miles) down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. But I digress...
I don't think the "heavier" feel is a concern. But it is a fact. The steering is heavier and slower. The clutch is like going to the gym. In fact the first time I got back in the Miata after driving the Cobra I thought the clutch was broken. The effort was so low. Driving the car takes a different mindset. Like learning a new language.
But it is a great language!!
