After getting used to the new feel (a couple days) you will wonder why power steering was ever invented.
Yeah, that's not happening. It's a 3000lb car with all the weight in front. My 1978 280Z is similarly weighted, and it's a bear to steer with a manual steering rack. The Beetle never came with manual steering; I'll keep the steering pump, thank you very much.
