Is that your opinion as well?

"Tons" is subjective.

It's more noticeable than a vw gti, but nowhere near as bad as an ms3. Pulls pretty good in 1st and a little in 2nd. Slight feeling of torque steer in 3rd sometimes at full throttle but it's not overwhelming.

The steering is also quick and precise on the car. But the seating position sucks and the pedal position sucks. The ONLY things I like about the st more than the FRS are the ride comfort and the torque.
