| Torque Steer
I don't know how you fwd guys do it.
I took my truck in for a couple recalls and they gave me this rental pos and I can't believe that 100hp thing had such bad torque steer. Felt like it wanted to rip the steering wheel right out of my hands.
Anyways, just thought I would let you in on my thoughts.
I'll stick with my rwd...

You have weak arms? 
If you were driving a Mazdaspeed3 you would probably be twisted into a pretzel right now, haha.

Hahahah.
Well, only other fwd i've driven was my parents van some time ago. And never pushed that so I guess this would be the first time i've "experienced" any form of torque steer.

new cars with EPS keeps the feedback to the minimum so it SHOULD feel less tq steery lol.
But it's physics you can't fix that.

Locking diff helps a bit... even those Phantom Grip inserts are better than nothing.

I hate (cheaply designed) electronic diff's so much...

You guys are funny, as I'd like to see you deal with this beast:
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado: 
425 Rocket V8 @ roughly 385hp. Oh yeah, it's front wheel drive.
