Torque Steer?

How does the torque steer in an LNF compare against say a Mazdaspeed3 or a Neon or Caliber SRT4??

And is it any better or worse in a G85 over a standard or is there not really a difference?

Thanks!!!

not the most technical LNF guy on here but i think the mods and power u put down, plus ur fore arm strength would determine how bad torque steer is, i brought my car modded and it wasnt bad, dnt be a puss though. or u can beat off twice a day in the morning with your left hand and at night with ur right. you should get some improvements. but others will chime in .

I have G85 on mine. I've never tried one that didn't have that option so I can't compare.

Honestly, I don't really even notice it on mine. Maybe I'm too busy paying attention to other things. Which, that in itself says that it's not too bad.
I notice it BIG TIME if I hit the gas hard in a corner though.

torque steer isnt to bad. when i step on it there aint much and what there is is easy to handle. much easier than it is to keep the ass end on a rwd car with the same power in place

alright cool, I haven't done much with FWD cars as ive always driven Camaro's and the sort... I just know when I drove the Mazdaspeed it had no noticable torque steer however both SRT4's and a Saab I drove damn near pulled me off the road cuz like I said, not used to FWD that actually makes power. I love my cobalt, just want something faster and in a stick and seems like LNF's have come down to some decent prices so I would like to pick one up next week

with my tires i get lots of traction, no spinning in second. well no i do again cause of the cold and my tires are about done. but with traction, no torque steer, just straight ahead. idk if the ottp tranny mounts help with that or not but ya.
