I test drove an Astra VXR recently. Nice car, apart from the god awful torque steer.
Imo, that ruins an otherwise good car.

Torque steer??? On the VXR? Its really not that bad once you've driven it a while. I hardly notice it. Its nearly 240bhp through the front wheels.

You wanna try our Turbo Corsa. spins up to 4th if you want it to. ITs great fun trying to wrestle it on the road

TBH, hard driving should mean two hands on the stearing wheel anyway which will cover any torque steer issues.

I see that Evo drivers are the same around the world. Ive had 2 seperate instances in which the same stock Evolution VIII(USDM) has tried to prove his supremacy. The outcome is the same-- pretty much dead even. The second time he pulled up next to me a few lights down and asked me "what I had done to that thing". I told him I had cleaned the wheels haha. I left him scratching his head trying to figure that one out.
