My main drive is a 72 911. This past summer my dad and I switched up cars at the track, so I spent some time with an 02 996 turbo and an 05 Corvette C6. The first thing I noticed was that the Corvette steering wheel took no effort to turn at all, whereas the 996 took more effort. Not an undue amount, it just wasn't as easy. I actually preferred it because I found on the track that the slightest movement of my hand would jitter the Corvette a bit.

While I can definitely notice the difference between my 72 and the 996, the difference between the 72 and the Corvette was about twice as much. I don't know if this helps any, but might put things in perspective a bit.
