Re: (Mavrik)

On a similar note, weirdly enough, I actually found the Vibe to be worse than the srt-4 for torque steer. The Vibe sure turned around in a circle better though.

Re: (trdvibe)

You don't want to launch a turbo car at very high rpms anyways. I find with my car, anything over 2000 rpms, and the wheels just spin all the way through first and second gear. It's quite amusing...but not very good for getting going! Learning to launch a turbo car well is a challenge.
