Am I alone in liking the ...

[MarkCup]

... torque steer?

I've been known to double back and try a stretch a second time just to feel the little b***ard writhe in my hands. Love it

I'm curious...odd or not?

 

[kully]

it scares me sometimes :dapprove:

 

[edde]

I know what you mean its the feeling you actually have to do some work and the cars quick.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Well it's nice knowing you have some actual power, but fact is it gets in the way.

 

[john182rs]

i dont like it but i dont hate it, i am not really botherd about it until some passenger is asking me why the car does that when im gunning for it only because i can not be botherd to explain.

 

[Day]

I've not really experienced it since the first week of owning the car.

I think you get used to it and then use the power accordingly.

I used to enjoy it in the 182 Cup.

No such thing these days, just Vorsprung durch Technik mit Quattro.

 

[briny182]

I like it - though it seemed even worse in my 150bhp TD 9-3 (which is wasn't so fun in!)

 

[S77CCP]

Love it, makes things much more of a challenge when your press on.

You need to drive it harder

I agree with you Mark - it is some kind of perverse pleasure having to wrestle the wheel a little. Can be a little scary if it takes you by surprise though....

 

[Christopher]

no, you're not

i love it. nailing it out of an off camber bend:evil:

can be a bit unnerving on rutted or tramlined roads though!

You need to drive it harder

I need to drive it slower if I'm truthfully honest, changing to bigger wheels and sorting the front suspension has dialed out most of the torquesteer though.

 

[DebV6]

I like it sometimes because it means there's some power there! But it does scare me sometimes! I don't often get to drive it hard enough to test it out though.

 

[Nigel]

The only time I dislike it is when there are tramlines in the road. Rather than being predictable it can take me by surprise, especially when it seriously pulls you accross the road towards the curb!

 

[Jonaldinho]

Must admit it does feel good on occasion and yes you get it in a MK2 172.

What have you done to the front suspension?

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

I love the torque steer........

My Trophy isn't as bad as my old Delta HF Turdo that had 230bhp and you could get it to change lanes using the throttle.

 

[Steve2004]

I like torque steer too, so did my brother who experienced it for the first time when I let him drive my car the other day. Had to explain to him what it was lol.

Although I have gotten pretty used to it now, but it still tries to pull me to the left on booting hard.

 

[Justin]

i like it

 

[Jayb 172]

Bit scary on bumpy or uneven corner exits but adds to the challenge!!!

 

[Tim]

love it

 

[Tyson-182]

I love it - Wrestling with the wheel just to keep yourself in a straight line...

Tys.

 

[Phoenix]

someone wanna let me know what it is?(forgive me for sounding blonde)

 

[Tyson-182]

If you take your hands off the wheel and plant your foot (from a standing start) the car would go off track (as in, it won't stay in a straight line) due to the torque steering the car. Typically you fight with the steering wheel to stay in straight line....

Tys.

 

[Phoenix]

oooo i know what you mean now......don't think my cars powerfull enough to experiance it thou *pats the baby 1.4 engine*

 

[Christopher]
