If you have it, is it because it helps in drifting, or not strong enough to steer without it?

hellyea. you try steering a 3500 lb boat without it.

Anybody in a fairly heavy car not have it anymore? How about you light cars?

aight i drove a buddies car ( 240 1993) with SR and on power steering and it sucked to sum it up!!!! Screw weight reduction... ya need it.

marcos used to try not to run it. but guess what he got it now.

I drifted/daily drove my sr 240 for 2 years without p/s and I did ok. It's just a matter of getting used to the car. It was nice because I could feel the car but tight courses kicked my ass and hard countersteering can get rough. I have only drifted a few times since I put p/s on and it is definately nice, but it's just a matter of getting used to what you have. If given the choice though I vote p/s.

man i dont see how you got used to it.... also if your wanting to clean the engine bay up a little i guess this could help to.

Alright, I guess all of ya'll summed it up. P/S is the way. I was asking this because a friend has an e30 without P/S and after driving it, it didn't seem that bad, but I wasn't sure what it would be like trying to countersteer in a slide. Thanks for the response's and votes. Anymore input from other drivers would be great too.
Korey

I think the higher speed, the less you notice, but when you slow down for tight technical stuff... it gets difficult. I think a big part is what you're used to with the car.

Yah it did clean up the engine bay nicely. It made everything much easier to work on too... lots of empty space.

That's exactly right. Some wider courses wouldn't bother me at all but tight courses kicked my ass.
