The only time the steering in my corolla or Spinter has given me something to think about was a hard long sweeper of a corner, it was then that I had to give it a bit to hold the line. Otherwise it never bothers me even thought it has a smaller steering wheel, parallel parking for me doesnt bother me in the slightest either. However I think that once my 86 has its suspension/wheels/tires upgraded I will be able to go much harder and hence more force will be needed to hold it together. You said it well audio man I need to just find one and try it.

Yes, it will be a dime a dozen to find one with powersteering, but there are quite a few around with them. My mates one recieved the GT-Apex front end treatment with all the luxuries, in the name of headlights/parkers/grille and it was an added bonus with the power steering.
And YES, ONLY the Japanese delievered GT-Apex recieved the power-steering from factory to answer your query.
But on the other hand, as u mentioned, driving on a long corner does feel great without powersteering as it lines the contour of the road (whereas powersteering will make u oversteer and become complacent in position) so both have good and (bad) points!
God make a switch that can turn it off and on!
Happy drifting.
