Wasn't badly. This particular car was tuned by the GM Performance Division and I'd say they did a great job considering what GM gave them. I should have disengaged the T/C to test the launch abilities.
The torque steer is there but most people exaggerate its effects on the car especially at launch just as fodder to knock it for being FWD. I mean if you put no hands on the wheel and floor the gas pedal, yes the wheel will go crazy.
BUT if you hold the wheel as you properly should, at most you might get a bit of a shudder but the car will go. Shitty tires don't help either. I can say the factory 0-60 time of 5.7 sec is pretty accurate.
