that's what it's called right? Under hard acceleration steering is all over the place...

I noticed I have a lot more of this on my 98 GXE then I had on my 93 SE.. I had to redline to get torque steer in my VE, in the 4th gen I can be around 4k RPMs and it's already very floaty and moving around.. Is that because of the LSD that the VE had by any chance?

Is there any ways to reduce torque steer?



thank you.

If you think torque steer is bad in your car, just imagine my car with the SC.

1) VQs have more torque down low than the VEs
2) VEs had the vlsd.

It's funny but I didn't notice the torque steer at all at the track. I find I get it on regular pavement so it may have a lot to do with traction.
