And LSD transmissions....

I know I have one in my HHR SS. It will torque steer like a mad man... then the LSD kicks in and puts it back in line. But it makes it a handfull in gears 1-3. Pulls left hard, you compensate and it jerks right as it moves power to the other wheel.

I'm no engineer, but from what I've read, torque steer needs to be engineered out by making good decisions with the length of the 2 driveaxles (equal vs. unequal), as well as the mounting location of the steering rack & associated hardware.

You were talking about torque steer....then changing the subject to GM thottle response, which I said is more a function of the torque converter. Never said anything about the torque converter and torque steer. Reading comprehension. .

But...if the torque converter stall is low like in GM makes I would believe that the torque steer would be more prevalent off the line vs a Jap car which would move the vehicle slower. But of course the half shaft lengths and trans to CV joint angle makes the difference.

Toyotas, crown vics are sorta still being produced, impalas, chargers, magnums, the 4 door chevy smaller than the impala, and I think the honda accord
