yep, 2 things adjust how hard you pull the throttle and lock the rear diff(or use 500,000wt diff lube). What you are experiencing is called torque steer, very common on truck this size and power. there has been many discussions on this very subject so if you look back in some of the older posts or use the search feature with the term "Torque Steer On Genesis,Nemesis,GST" you may find more info on it!!

Hope this helps...

EDIT ADDED: Opps forgt about the 1-2 degree of toe out in th front and the about 1-2 degree of toe in on the rear to help fight torque steer. Its been so long I forgot about this bit of info..

Yes thickening up the center differential will greatly reduce this action.... the car is unloading to the front wheels.... this makes the front tires expand and when they do that it has the potential to grab on one side more then the other- CEN

I like the Torque steer,it shows just how much more powah the Gennie has over the other MT's with their sewing machine .28 engines.Pffffttt.I wonder how the Genesis stands up against the new big boy the MGT 8.0?
