Say hello to Mr Torque Steer
Me and Day were talking about that the other day. I remember when I first got the 172 it was all over the place when you booted it. Now I barely ever notice it. I think over time you automatically compensate with a bit of corrective steering without having to think about it.
Flooring it with one hand on the steering wheel soon provides a reminder though :shock:

Yeah i dont think me and Mr T Steer are going to get on that well at the moment
I think i may wait until next year to put the car on the track just so i can get used to the way in which the poweris delivered.
Still, loads of fun even if i have stained the seats

Thats a good point actually. i don't notice the torque steer on my 172 any more. At first I thought it was horrific - especially when overtaking etc.
After getting used to it you probably compensate for it without even realising.
And yes, first gear is fucking savage. lol.

I am so glad its happend to the rest of you, I have know learnt to pull of junctions and round abouts in second now.
Still love the way the car pulls. Not as quick as my old Calibra Turbo buts its the fact you can carry silly speeds into corners that really you should be breaking into.
The cop behind me last night relised that when i went through a series of corners at 50 when really i should have scrubbed at least 10mph of the clock. The copper caught up with me and had a huge grin on his face, and just put his had up in appreication.
