It was perhaps an exaggeration. The Honda has super light power steering for such a small car. Add some extra PSI to the tires and it gets a little weird at 70 or so.

911 has no power steering and at 22 years old is rock solid at similar speeds....on the track...well... One of our other cars is a 3 series, which has less power steering input than the HCH, so the HCH seems like overkill when compared to those two. Next to our Cherokee, the Honda is the same.
