It's the limited-slip working there. If the steering wheel is held straight.... it shouldn't have torque steer!

Have only had the new 6speed for 5 days, but I can tell you that I haven't noticed it yet. Im stiil being cautious though during the so called "break-in period" . This car is an amazing designed and engineered piece of work. For it to handle like it does , considering the weight ratio and HP potential is remarkable. If I didnt know I was driving the Cl-S I would seriously think it was about 500 lbs lighter or even RWD....go ahead guys....flame away....but it's true. I just finished driving my wife's '96 Camaro and it seemed like a '82 Chevy Caprice compared to the new CL-S

Like others have said, mine pulls a little bit but the LSD keeps it in control.
It’s manageable and FUN !!!

Yup. You can minimize it by ditching the shitty Michilens on the car. The better the tires grip, the less torque steer.

I haven't noticed any pull in a straight line on dry pavement. I do notice it when I'm coming out of a corner fast, and also when I screwing around in the snow.

Most of the time I can't tell I'm driving a FWD car, only when pushed to it's limits does torque steer rear it's ugly head.

LSD rules

Shame on you, you drive it in the snow....well i guess not everyone can have a beater car though, mine is throughly garaged during the snow...actualy i plan on keeping it there most of the winter, too much rock salt on the road to make the car white.

Torque steer is very minimal. Only time it catches me off guard is on the highway (60+) and go over a hump where tires momentarily lose traction.
