Torque Steer on IS350 F Sport AWD
Haven't broken in my car yet but I would like to know if anyone know if there is noticeable amount of torque steer when driving hard?

I haven't really tried, but in fairly spirited driving and takeoffs I can't say that I have noticed much in the way of torque steer.

None that I've ever noticed. The AWD system is rear biased and defaults to either a 70/30 or 80/20 rear/front power distribution (anybody know which it is exactly?) and can only send up to 50% of available power to the front anyway.

Also this is a RWD layout, not a horizontally mounted engine and transaxle. The reason for torque steer is typically because of different length driveshafts to the front wheels, which you get in a FWD car with a transaxle. We have a standard mid-mounted transmission which allows the front axles to be equal length and thus basically eliminate any possible torque steer.
