Grease,

I don't know about all that, but I do know that my GXP had very minimal torque steer compared to my CSRT4.

I remember when I first punched it in 2nd (CSRT4), I almost went off the road. lol.

My GXP gave a small tug off the line, then just went straight.
- It had a custom tune
- Cat back exhaust
- k&n

So, I'm sure it put more power down than stock, and still very minimal torque steer compared with my CSRT4.

I'm just saying the article mentioned sidewall distortion on the front tire during acceleration. It does make sense. You see the sidewall distortion on a Top Fuel dragster when taking off. Sample principle.
