Knowing that I'll have limited if any 'real' time behind the wheel on a test drive to see how 222HP going thru the front wheels feels, just wondering how the Maxima stands in terms of handling torque steer? Thanks!

i had some crazy torque steer until i got my springs installed it really helps but if you dont have a firm grip on the wheel under hard acceleration than it will go crazy not too bad stock but with mods it starts to pull left and right!!!

 

damn that sucks man! i wonder how the people with supercharger feel.. dont they have a tendency to run the hell of the track with that much hp feeding there wheels?

 

yeah but with suspension mods it makes it not as bad but with a Sc not too many mods you can do to the car until there is just no wy back with the torque steer..... thats what u ask for when you mod the hell out of a front wheel drive car...... just imagine the SC with 100 shot of NOS with a level 10 rebuild, torque converter and shiftronic shif kit........ thats what i want to do by the time i am out of college im not out of high school yet so it may be awhile but it will be fast as **** cant wait!!!!!!

 

I dunno if it is me or not but I seem to get more torque steer in the rain. Anyone else feel it?

 

I think you should ask Adam, he's having a highly tweaked engine while still having 1 wheel drive.

Keep in mind that the Volvo S80 T6 has 260hp at front wheels, but they are very stable when acceleratred hard.

 

I don't notice that much torque steer, but that's probably because I've got an AE. The reason I bought the AE was to get posi...

Traction control seems to help too, although with the VLSD it doesn't come on as often as it did in my Contour...

 

that's assuiming the pulley and ceramic bearing is still good rite??
