So, I drove to work today for the first time since last November. And I'm sitting (first) at a stoplight in the middle lane with a beat up Honda sporting a fart pipe to my immediate left. I figure he might make a run for it, so I've got my eye on him. Light changes and sho nuff, he takes off hard (as hard as a POS Civic can, anyhow).
I take off regular and his rear bumper is about at my front bumper when he swerves into my lane. I'm thinking maybe torque steer? I let off the gas and he comes over even more, now I'm thinking he is trying to goad me? When, holy shit, he shoots across in front of me with sparks flying and no control whatsoever! He ground to a halt in the far right lane.
Apparently, his spindly little half shafts couldn't take the massive torque his 1.5 liter was putting to the ground! :bored: Thank goodness I had no inclination to play around, or this thread would be titled, "Wrecked my GT500 on it's first drive of the year.":fm:
