I once hit vtec in 5th gear. It was a brown trouser moment for me.

It was when I was going Germany on the autobahn.

I have never felt torque steer. If your car is pulling I'd get the wheel adlignment checked first, especially after lowering it.

only gone into vtec in 4th a couple of times, once while passing a row of lorries (this was in a country where it was legal ;) ) and once just to see what it was like and to check a delimit idea, again in an area where it was legal :lol:

I managed it in the ATR at the Ring, but I've not seen it in the Prelude yet. Maybe next year.
