I like lighter steering, but not pinky steer. When its working as designed, the later ('97-'02) steering box with VAPS gives great feel. My '96 had steering that felt like my budy's '91 except it always felt the same thanks to VAPS dialing the pressure down at speed as where the '91 steering felt extremely light on the freeway. The '97 is the first year for the newer box and it feels a lot better, much better road feel, and with the VAPS working properly the feel is consistent at all speeds. My '98 feels great with the firmer/quicker box it has thanks to being a HPP. The '98 wanders a bit, but it has crappy tires and essentially no idler arm.
The '97-'02 is the best steering configuration in any Panther in my opinion. I have driven plenty of '03+ cars and I just don't like the steering feel in them for the same reasons mentioned above. I like how direct it feels, but I don't like the way its weighted.
