Why I WANT power steering in my Cobra, currently not P.S.

Racing! I got the car in a pretty mean slow speed four wheel drift in a big corner, counter steering and holding it OK, then I had to turn the wheel back quickly to compensate. Couldn't turn it fast enough! Plus it felt like the wheel was an 800 pound gorilla, it took everything I had to "crank" it back the other way. I guess the "G" forces, weight of the car, whatever you want to call it put such a load on the wheels combined with realativly slow speed I couldn't steer for squat!

Then I got to thinking, I wonder if I could increase my reaction time from snap left to snap right in the slalom. Now I'm SURE of it. I want P.S. with a good quick steering ratio. A ratio fast enough where you probably could not steer comfortably without P.S.
