Re: More New Buyer Questions - T5 vs. GLT V70-XC70 1998

Torque steer can not be eliminted in FWD cars. Period. The reason is that if you are NOT going perfectly straight, or the road is not perfectly flat, you will have two different tires turning at different speeds. Now I agree that what most people think of as torque steer, which is the car pulling when you hit the gas, can be minimized by keeping hte car pointed straight ahead. But under hard throttle and boost, as I drive my car in the streets of NY, dodging bad drivers, straight is usually not an option, nor is a rut free surface. And with that much power, as soon as the torque steer is induced, things get hairy!!!

Where's that AWDR(M) I ordered?
