How come the Mazda MPS has torque steer while other similar powered cars  like the Golf GTI don't have torque steer?

VW gti is not as power as Mazda MPS. MPS eats the gti for breakfast.

the VW Golf R is competitor for Mazda MPS and teh Golf R is an All wheel drive

so the MPS power really more than what it can take huh. myb truly need an aftermarket upgrades lol

so if u and your relative ,to choose again, which one will he & u will buy?

but i believe megane is about rm270-280k right?

for such price, its a no brainer that MPS is the one for rm 170k. that's 100k alot to improve the MPS and I like MPS design all the way. Megane is more exotic or exquitsite. MPS OTR so f***ing nice.

I don't mean to be cynical, but high speed feeling of stability is quite subjective ,no? if normal car can do 180 also, im sure MPS can do 200 & more, np. but im not sure if RS cup is AWD or FWD like MPS?

if we talk about RS cup, myb can talk about the Focus RS also  (or is it ST?) lol
myb also due to the transmission?
VW is just amazing with what they can do.
they just simply done everything in the right way.
cept for the DSG durability lol in china , the DSG pain is massive that the gomen pass a bill to 'force' VW to cover 1 year warranty for their gb . Sumfin' like that, dont rmb exactly what

i read somewhere the RS cup about rm270k ,myb my bad. *update* ya, is rm230k lol

If 200 over....whats the reason of not getting the Golf  over the megane. the Gti is luxurious and performance enough, without the torq steer

although each time i see an golf gti, yea la, it never fail to impress me , nice la, admiration la, ooh lala

but it just not like when see an MPS...

mybe cuz my blood is JDM

beside mps>megane cuz 4drs hehe

We all know FD2R is the torqueless wonder.. that is why you don't have torque steer. It is not called 'Torque' steer for nothing.

That is why it is called a torqueless wonder.. esp when max torque is right next to max power.. which is right next to the redline.

Do you actually know anything about vtec? It has no usable torque. By the time the usable torque aka your 'pull' feeling comes in, it is already almost redline and you have to change gear. That is why vtec engines gets the torqueless wonder title.

When you say many, were you just referring to Japanese turbos.. 10 years ago? Comparing the guys who mod big turbo is also like those guys modding their vtec for high power to the point where their max torque, hp and redline falls within 1000rpm zone. Turbos nowadays are more subtle and no more big fat laggy turbos pre year 2000 days.

We can't run away from turbo-lag and spooling times but our turbo-lag is definitely way shorter than VTEC lag... I have nothing against the vtec boys. Had lots of fun with them last time but I just want to make the point that it is not as easy to drive as most people think. It is also not that fun to drive. Blasting down a straight road demon shifting every gear inside VTEC zone is fun. Driving it daily outside of vtec is no that fun.
