Are you stalking me?? - I'll report you to the police... 
I looked back through my posts and I've referenced mine or my wife's car a total of 5 times - You've shoehorned in references to your car that many times in a single thread....
I'm not insulted - Bored is more accurate

Enjoy the Skodas.

This website attracts a rather large number of muppets who feed off sniping at others while clearly having a sodding chip on their shoulders. I'm sure you wouldn't say no to a 335d would you? Or an RS? Or a GT-R? Or a Mountune ST? Well shut up then.

Now Mr "McCain factory on your shoulder" - this is a website centred on interesting cars. Having had several for a while, I've run a fairly dull car for four years. So now there is an interesting one on the drive, I'm pleased about it and many seem keen too - hence the thread about it getting many replies. None bitter, none sniping like yours. So why not get off your high horse and ignore those terrible threads that have you writhing around in some kind of bitter rage and get on with your own life?

Have you ever thought that maybe it's you that has the problem?
There are plenty of other well off people on this site that don't feel the need to go on about their 'wealth' like you do.

Yeah, but even after that, the older 2 liter engines (petrol) used to have some issues, then again that was at least 5 years ago.............

If we're on the subject, wouldn't you be one who brags because of lack of self confidence....
The fact you've been hounded off several forums in the past suggest you're the one with no life.
Sorry scoobyjawa - Couldn't help myself

Take your hands off the steering wheel on violent acceleration then youll see torque steer (its the force you have to fight against).
Ps feel free to video record this just so there is a record of your accident someone can post on youtube when they find your trashed car.
If a 225bhp ST understeers and torquesteers adding 70bhp to it isnt going to improve things. think thats common sense.

Where did torquesteer come from - Mr Clarkson? Im sure its only come around in the last 3-4 yrs with the Astra VXR being the pioneer. Why would you take your hands off the wheel to perform such a test. As long as its not ripping the wheel out of your hand Im not sure I see the problem. Im sure Ive seen similar things in a 400BHP R34 I was passenger in.

I've never seen torque steer as a huge problem. Hold the wheel with two hands like it's designed for and don't treat the throttle like an on/off switch.
The only problem with this is the Astra VXR whose throttle is like an on / off switch. It was very difficult to drive smoothly on track.

I've drove both a VXR and ST, both torque steer but it's not a problem when u hold the steering wheel with both hands. They both pulled much harded than my WRX when rolling especially the VXR.

Still having problems achieving these things, man you must drive slowly.

Feel free to come up to Lancs and have a play in my ST, you will be rather surprised.

Actually I thought the one I tested (FQ360) had a bit - I thought I was just going mad though as it's decent 4WD. Still probably the quickest point to point car on the planet though.

It seems that the Mountune focus actually had more Torque than the RS they had for the test.....
Not only that, they said it had + or - 250 PS, but it was closer to 290 PS!!!
It is in this months EVO mag.
They also mentioned that "this should now put to rest a lot of forum discussions" LMAO!!!
