Your slacking, Mark. Very disappointed.Let me at least get my kids to school before answering!![]()
Good eye Chris.Is that the correct shift knob which was also used on 2002s, foam 38 Petri, no covers between seats and sill trim, later seats, black painted wiper linkages? Just wondering.
I'd expect manual steering would be fairly effortless given the amount of downforce being generated by that rear wing while the car isn't even moving.
Even the last 57 Bats could have a few city pack style options I believe.It seems odd to me that a batmobile version would have power steering. Anybody know if this was common? I guess given only 57 examples "common" might not be the right term.

Hi Chris and guys,Even the last 57 Bats could have a few city pack style options I believe.
OK, steering wheel does look correct and it has five hole Alpinas. And a four slat plastic kidney grille.
Yes, totally understand that.Unless you are parallel parking or doing a
turnabout, manual steering in any car requires little effort to steer. You can feel the extra effort as you increase your tire width though.
I'd love to drive an e9 that didn't have power steering. It could even be a lowly 2.5. I'd just like to see what it's like.A few I have seen, had most all the city pack "comfort" items...........not mine thankfully![]()
Agree. The steering feel of a manual CSL rack is completely different than the regular power rack. The manual rack has that direct “lively” feel, with a little bit of bump steer, similar to an old 911. Drive a 72 911 and you will get a sense of the manual steering rack in a CSL.I'd love to drive an e9 that didn't have power steering. It could even be a lowly 2.5.

I can understand getting the power steering option on a "run of the mill" CSL if you lived in a dense, crowded, slow speed city. But putting it on a Batmobile? That escapes my grasp.
