Limited slip differential

Has anyone insatalled a limited slip in their tranny? Does it really solve the torque steer problem. Because man when I floor it, especially when passing someone on the back roads, it is hard to keep it strait. I have an 03 GTP with all the options except HUD(I didn't want to mount my EZ Pass on my license plate).

Unless you're spinning the wheels, I don't see how limited-slip would affect torque steer, but I'm no authority.

I don't see how the two are related. Some car models can't have a windshield transponder because of the composition of the glass (see another thread for the details) but the HUD option wouldn't affect that unless there was some bizarre coupling of options.

I have two customers that have the HUD option and both are unable to use EZ-Pass on their windshield. They were told that they needed the license plate mounting kit because their windshield affected the EZ-Pass's operation. I spoke to the service dept at the pontiac dealer and Tom(the service mgr) told me that customers complain all the time about that same problem.

Well there's nothing like experience, but I have no trouble with the 04 and 97 GTP, both HUD-equipped with windshield-mounted transponder. However, the 02 Bonneville SSEi reportedly had trouble with the transponder and I used the license plate variety while I had that. But again, it was a glass composition thing, not a HUD thing.

I thought that the windshield had some coating on it that made the HUD work properly.

No coating, it meets a clarity standard needed for good HUD display.

BTW, regarding the limiited slip, this is only something you need to be looking at if you want to drag race. It's not going to do anything to correct the side to side pull you get on roads with deep wheel tracks. That is not actual torque steer. Actual torque steer takes place even on perfectly flat surface and it's something that the GTP suffers very little from. What you are experiencing is a product of power application and FWD.
