torque steer question

I picked up my 2002 tk-s about a month ago.. One of the things that still impresses me with this this car is the smooth and clean power distribution to the front wheels with hardly any noticicle torque steer. Before I got the acura I tried a nissan 2005 altima SE-R, wow did this car have the torque steer, I mean you really had to hang onto the wheel. This car has the same hp as the tl-s ,260hp, but more torque, I beilve around 255 vs 238 for the acura. I also last week had a pontica gran-am retal. This car had some real torque steer also. Why is the acura power distribution so much cleaner than other front wheel drive cars ??

any commnets

maybe you havent gotten on it very good...I have torque steer and I have the TLP not Type S. You really have to floor it and get it up to redline before it will become an issue.

ya everyone has their own opinion on the torque steer, I personally like it, but I wouldnt if I was an old person - kinda scary for them I would think
