Drive a Spec-V. They have some serious torque steer. That 1st to 2nd is amazing.

Due to the unequal length of axles in fwd car....the shorter axle gets power to the wheel first, causing your car to drift to that side.

I saw a video released by GM as a promotion featuring the new Deville. One of the veiws was first person from the drivers perspective. Well what they showed was the vehicle doing about 60mph, they threw the car into the spin release the wheel and the car all by itself corrected itself. Got out of the spin and put the car back into it's original direction.

It was pretty cool. I forgot what they called it but I was impressed none the less.
