First heard this when I done the Quarter at Eastern Creek 1/4. I'm worried I've done some sort of damage & don't wan't to say so.

What sortta time did u pull ed? Yeah torque steer... its a ageing design chassis. I'm not suprise cos d eng's mounts does feel soft. If there is no weird vibrations n ur car on/off throttle smoths then i guess its ok. I think u Can/May alter the p/s assist on the car, its may help with the torque-steer, but again it the chassis that have overall effect.

Best time was a 14.7 @ 150km's. I'm not too worried about the torque steer it's only happened a couple times, like I say it was hard accelerating & rough.

Ummm not sure but would suspension help with this or hinder this??? If the chassie is sprung harder and the dampening is up rated is there more of the force being produced by the engine being transferd into the wheels? Or is it being reduced do to less movment?

It beats me. Just wondering if any of the other Polo GTI driver's have noticed the same as me, if not may be I do have a problem.
