I almost bought the SRT4 Caliber, then i test drove it and the torque steer was insanely bad for a stock car that I decided against it.

Sweet kill USMC! Torque steer is definitely frustrating to live with.

dude i never had to worry about the torque steer in my escort ZX2...i really need to drive a caliber and push it. It doesn't look half bad either...to bad it's a Chrysler product. I am probably out of going to the track for a good portion of the season though... with a clutch that is going and a knee that is screwed just driving is all i can do...so the only race i might do is against the member here with the S197 that owes me a match and the caliber.

If i can get some roll races i'll take those 5k launches are rough on parts ya know lol

Start making enough power in a FWD car and torque stear goes away. It's replaced with endless wheel spin.
