400 hp with front wheel-drive and tires from those times would cetainly make for an interesting drive, right ? Pray

Interesting how the beautiful Toronado got slightly less attractive looking each year.  Then came the 1971.......what were they thinking???

 

I wonder what this car was like for torque-steer?

I had a '70. There was some torque steer but not nearly as much as some smaller cars I've owned. GM Engineers crafted a torsion bar setup for the front suspension that featured unequal-length wishbones to mitigate torque steer.
