Everyone shut the **** up

Dude asks a question. ******* answer it. This is why everyone with a cobalt hates CSS.



Anyways. Other than tstone of course. What he said is correct. Just gotta man up.

Also. Hold steering wheel at 3'oclock and 9'oclock position.

Both hands on the wheel. Otherwise you will torq steer your
First few weeks driving it

That's just what happens when FWD has too much power

Man strength is the solution.

3 and 9 are the absolute worst positions to combat torque steer. okay 10 and 2 are worse. but forget about 3 and 9.

position your arm like you're flexing your bicep. man grip the wheel from underneath at about 7 to 730 position. you can now drive a 600+whp car with one hand. congrats.

dont fear the torque steer! in all seriousness just expect it to hit at like 3.5k rpms in 2nd and 3rd and brace your arms to deal with it. Thats about all you can do.

Yea.. welll.. Our cars don't torque steer half as much as other fwd cars so you can stfu now.

The OP got what he asked for when he didn't use the search button.


Easy way out, when you hammer the gas with your hand on the shifter slightly pull down on your left hand, it will counter act and give you mad ************ strength.

It's a FWD they do that with a little get and go under the hood, if it's that much of a problem for you get a RWD car.

finally. After all the sometimes funny comments, the hand position on the wheel thing ( exsoccer its not a 4 cycle go kart and the whole world doesnt always drive 1320 at a time)
kzak has answer 1. trailing control arm bushings.
answer 2: dont put stupid wide tires on the front (like me) unless u do go to the gym and can live with it.
answer 3. fix the trailing control arm bushing.

answer 4. YYZ springs reduce squat at the rear and front lift

answer 5. Decent struts and shocks

answer 6 see 1 thru 5
