wrt: "... there's almost a delay between when it starts to turn and when 
it finishes turning"

Yep. I think it's partly due to the 'slop' in the worm-and-peg steering, 
and significant understeer. I put a larger (front) sway bar on my BJ8 
and that helped (at least, the car stays flatter in turns). Also, 
setting camber to zero--or presumably, negative--makes turn-in/out a bit 
more responsive. Ironically, perhaps, if your car tracks true driving on 
straight highways is actually more relaxed and can be done with 
'thumb-and-index-finger.' I feel like I have to keep a pretty good grip 
on my Mustang's wheel, with electric-assisted rack-and-pinion, lest it 
get away from me (at least, in the 'sport' mode I usually drive in).

Note he had a big grin on his face for most of the video.
