The first time I test drove the MPS and really put my foot down coming down the straight from Mt Cootha, I felt the steering wheel grab slightly but it is a distant memory compared to how I felt having all that power!! I'm a good driver, obviously not as experienced as a lot of you guys and gals here but I always feel totally safe in my car. The only time the torque even slightly worried me was when I hit a small pothole in the road at the same time as giving it some but that's hardly the beast's fault!!! Someone should toss a monkey wrench at some of these reviewer's, it might wake them up a little so they realise what a real car looks and feels like!!!
