T-Unit's boosted Buick. AKA: the Granny Slapper

I really don't need to go smaller. It's fast enough as it is. The torque steer is real. I've burned the tires in second already. I gotta get off the skinny pedal.

My previous employer had an Impala SS with the 5.3 that didn't torque steer as bad as my Buick lol.

Mine wasn't that bad in 2nd. Sounds like your tires might be shot.

The front ones were. They are on the back now. Still busts them loose but it doesn't walk around as much.

i think its just the way the car is. Seems like the more boat feeling the car is the worse the torque steer is. My g6 is managable in first, and its noticable in second but that thing feels like its on rails. It may not be supercharged but itll still burn tires anywhere in first gear.

I have a really odd wobble in back on decent bumps now for some reason. I wanna get new struts on it before I investigate further but if there's a decent bump in the road it feels like the ass end kicks right. There is a brace for the knuckle back there that extends towards the front of the car and mounts to the unibody just in front of the wheel well on the left side that I bent slightly while jacking the rear up from it's unibody mount. I think that might be the issue since it was fine before I moved the tires around.

Or I've got a blown apart belt that was causing my "torque steer" fiasco and now that the same tire is on the back...... It's causing "bump sway"....first is struts. Going from there.

One strut has been delivered. Waiting on the second and I'll be pushing to get them on. The knocking is driving me insane. Also need at least a set of rear tires.

The set of spare truck tires I sold today will get me a set for the car.

I was surprised. The other strut had an estimated delivery date middle of next week. It came in today. So on they went. No more knocking sounds on bumps!
