I have a '03 9-3 Arc with 2.0T and 6 speed. The car also has BSR PPC so the numbers are up to 247hp/286lb-ft torque. I previously had a '95 900S 5 speed, and while the '03 is way better there is still some torque steer when you get on it heavily in 1st and 2nd. I noticed it before and after the PPC upgrade and it really didn't increase with the extra hp. It's inherent in FWD vehicles no matter what is done with the driveshafts and suspension geometry. Now that the carmakers are routinely into the 250 - 300hp range I believe you will see more and more AWD rather than FWD in those vehicles.
