    I do real estate as a side job.

    My regular job is as a Process Server/County Court Officer, blah blah blah. I work alot with the U.S. Attorney's office here in San Diego. So I may have to go out that weekend to effect service on some guy.

    In response to the torque steer question. NO, I didn't notice any torque steer. Must be my proper hand position and quick return of the right hand on the steering wheel after engaging the shifter. I guess it's kinda like recoil of a handgun. If you are "shooting/driving" properly things like "recoil/torque steer" are transparant.

    Ryan, I take it back... Drew's the douchebag.

    Oh, so you're basically 'one of us'. Good. Ryan, you can shred his background reports, he should be clean. Rick, the surveillance camera you set up inside his master bedroom closet, while he was sleeping, is a no-go, I repeat, no-go.

    Rick, come on. You post something and it historically turns to shit, or we can put it on forum life support with BS posts.

    Don't forget who you're talking to here, brother... Drew can barely hang onto his own cock, much less anything with torque steer... such is the curse of arthritis and osteoporosis.

    Milan, there are a lot of similarities between the two. You shouldn't find it that difficult if you get a chance to try one. Try to think of this




    ...point the steering wheel where you want the car to go...

    He has been a service mgr at a Dodge/Chrysler dealership fpr over 15yrs...he drives front will drive vehicles daily..:bigwink:.....he said the Neon SRT4 had some TQ steer but nothing like the Caliber....



    So you are saying for the Caliber Chrysler should offer a day at a military driving training base instead of the SRT Driving Experience..:deshade:

    Um, yup you're right with the exception of the stick...point and countersteer when it sways left and right, throttle to the floor...kick and slam that mofo back into 2nd without letting up on the go pedal. That's how I drove my GLHS and my Shelby Z. And those were terrible with torque steer and would now be 21/20 yrs old. But veering off too much from an intended direction...um nah. I kind of liked it actually in that it scared people in the car and showed them this little 4 was making some serious albeit raucous power.

    Smart ass.

    So.......... You counter T/S with lots of KY, feathers, Thongs (on backwords of course) your "stick" in one hand and the other one on the round thing. Just point and "shoot"? I think I saw a video on this once.
