Torque Steer on my C6Z?

I have noticed torque steer developing over the past couple of months. I know that sounds stupid, but getting hard on the gas gives me a noticable pull to the right. I also know that, as I've been tracking my car for two seasons now, I've been getting increased chassis flex as well.

Could the two issues be connected? I'm thinking that tightening up the zillions of little bolts that hold down/up the torque tube cover might help on that front. I'll try this as soon as I get up the nerve to get under my car for that long.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Re: Torque Steer on my C6Z?

You can solve most of the Torque Steer problems by doing the following:

1. Install VB&P Tranny/Diff. mount
2. Install VB&P Engine mounts
3. Replace the Power shaft coupler with a metal one
4. Replace the Power shaft with a CF one
5. Install a thicker tunnel closeout plate

Of course everything needs to be torqued correctly.
