You can eliminate torque-steer on a FWD car. Just have to make the half-shafts equal lengths. Acura managed to do this on the later-model Legend, by longitudinally mounting the engine. So did Chrysler on there LHS platform, I think...:) Of course, that would also compromise front-drive wheel traction as well, so that could be a problem. :( --Basil M. -- San Diego, CA USA 1986 Cressida 5M-GE DOHC Sedan (12-valves) 148,400 miles "dizz" <dizzNOnopsampro-ns.net> wrote in message news:t33FOzCg5zX=E7DBSqQfNhbXxcUanopsamcom... > On Thu, 11 Oct 2001 21:50:57 GMT, Just Bob <uctraingnopsamanet.com> > wrote: > > >On Thu, 11 Oct 2001 02:52:51 GMT, dizz <dizzNOnopsampro-ns.net> wrote: > > > >>Their FWD cars don't cost $40k like a Saab can.
