Newbie: S2000 to TL A-Spec

I am looking to move on from my race car to a year round enthusiast sport sedan. The standard TL 6MT I drove today was an excellent automobile. I am concern about the torque steer I got when punching the car in a left hand 90 degree turn. I am so used to full throttle oversteer of the S2000 that all FWD cars seem strange now.

Does the A-Spec tone this down at all? How does the suspension tuning affect the ride?

TIA

Click the A-spec review link in my sig to get an idea of what the A-Spec suspension is like, even though mine is a 5AT and doesn't suffer from the LSD kicking in while turning (as the 5AT has no LSD).

HTH a little.

Yes, it does tone it down. The wider/sticker tires improve traction directly and the suspension reduces weight transfer to help even more. You will feel more bumps and lose a bit of ride quality, but the car is still a very comfortable cruiser.

After driving the TL around for a while you get use to the torque steer, or at least I have.

I know the S2000 is quicker than the TL but how does it compare to the TL in terms of POWER/HP????
