I am considering an auto trans MCS due to the Los Angeles traffic.

 

Yes. I don't think the automatic would lessen the problem. But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will pipe in.

 

Yes.

Transmission won't matter.

Just power. If you don't want to feel it, buy a car with less power.

Personally, I've throttled the heck out of the two demo cars I've driven... and though present, I don't think it's all that bad. I've shaken hands with people that required more grip than I had on the wheel.

 

Honestly, if I were to complain, it wouldn't be about torque steer, it'd be about understeer. But in city/highway driving it's not bad. and I'd rather deal with moderate understeer than moderate oversteer on the road any day. Just remember to have a grip on the wheel if you goose it in a turn.

 

Could someone explain torque steer. What is it.

If I get the MC or MCS with auto, in your opinion is the limited slip a must. Thanks.

 

LSD is only avail with the manual transmission MCS.

 

Does torque steer effect the wheels and how thet wear.

 

You're not going to get torque steer by driving normally. You're going to get it by flooring the car. So if you're always doing that... yes, it will affect tire wear; but not because of the torque steer.

 

Thanks
