When you accelerate hard the cars pulls you side to side since the front wheels have all the power and they do the steering. Some cars are much worse than others... since some manufacturers have managed to compensate for torque steer better than others.

The dealership wouldn't let my friend and I test drive a Trans Am (even though he could have bought it right then), but they were cool with us (2 19 year olds) taking a GTP out on our own, even though it costs marginally less. We could easilly get the tires smoking, just hard to keep 'em straight.
