does anyone know what the quaife quick ratio ratio actually is?
2.5 lock to lock but whats the ratio? stock one is 17ish to 1 from what i recall. i did a quick search on the forum and there is alot of talk of which aircool longnose swb-lwb/G/964/993 had the quickest rack with turning radius and lock to lock. most of the ratios are well document with the exception of the early 3.0 turbo which there is a dabate if there is a quicker rack. i have a buddy with a couple of them 76 930 that we will measure when i get a chance.
hey click click can u measure your quick rack for us when u get a chance? its pretty easy... just turn the steering wheel on full rotation at 360 degree. Measure the degree angle of the wheel or hub (perhaps with an iphone). Then divide the number back into 360. say if its 24 degree angle from straight, divided 24 into 360 = 15:1 ratio. i would guess the quiafe rack its somewhere between 13-15:1?
if the steering overly sensitivity i reckon isnt attributed to the stock steering ratio though a quicker ratio can exasperate it. The layout of the aircooled 911 being rear engine, short wheelbase and an unfavorable center of pressure from the pontoon fenders coupled with a low tail aero wise makes the car inherently less stable. It is akin to throwing a dart backwards.
