well i have MY06 TL aspec.

my first FWD.

prev cars were S2000, Audi A4 1.8TQ.

never experienced anything like this... when i step on the gas from dead stop, my car steering wheel flys left and right. LOL basically out of control.
is this what torque steer is? if it is.. it's crap.

 

it is

 

thx for confirming Trancemission.
but i heard things like.. tq/steer is gone for MY06. and especially with aspec suspension.. errgg

 

well with the 06 its supposed to have less. But with FWD I think its just unavoidable.. you'll get used to it I think..

 

It is not gone, but Acura has tried to limit it, especially with the LSD in the 6MT. There's no fix in the 5AT other than to hold to the steering wheel when accelerating. Which tranny do you have?

Edit: Trancemission beat me by seconds!

 

5AT.

i miss my audi quaattro.. it was a monster even with 10inches of snow in NYC.
i had 9 adults in my slammed audi during last winter w/o being stuck at any point. lol

 

get the rear sway bar might help a little....if you already don't have one.

 

Put down your cell phone and latte and hang onto the steering wheel while accelerating.

 

hit the gym and build up that shoulder and forearm strength..lol j.k

 

I usually drive with 2 fingers. (index & thumb)

 

Ya didn't notice TS during a test drive?

 

Torque steer is only correct for "06 MT" as referenced from hondanews.com

 

Torque steer is correct? LOL! Any kind of torque steer is a bad thing, IMO, as it represents something that is not neutral.

 

Im pretty sure he meant corrected

 

You didn't get torque steer in the Audi cuz the engine wasn't mounted sideways and you had the AWD .. no TS in the 4Mo Passat I just traded in on this one ..
