This question is purely academic.
I had an Olds Alero with V6 that met it's end on a snowy road this winter.
The car had a bad case of torque steer when you would jump on the gas. I
was reminded of that last weekend when a guy in a turbo Talon was
complaining of the same thing. It occured to me that I have never felt this
in my SHO. I can hit first, light up my front tires and keep them spinning
until I hit redline and have no problem pointing them anyplace I want the
whole time. Taking super tight turns on the Autocross track I never once
felt anything fighting back when turning.
Any ideas why? Again, I do not plan to do anything with this knowledge,
just curious. I am sure I am not the only one on the list that likes to
know "why" things happen.
