Torque Steer Problems

So far, cutting output by limiting the engine revs is the only answer to torque steer (ie, 1997-2002 4T40E WCR's in 3.4L Malibus).
GMPowerTrain in Toledo is coming on-line soon with a six speed auto for the new '08 Malibus. Maybe it can be applied to the HHR SS.

The more I read on line the more I find a lot of cars are managing takeoff power. It's surprising how many are doing it these days.
