a friend had a 84 i think it was exactly like this one. it would rip.. when ya dumped the clutch the tq steer would damn near want to break your wrists..
I had an ‘84 Laser like that but turd brown. You’re right. The torque steer was crazy in that thing! When it ran, it ran good! But it had so many faulty sensor issues on the engine. I’d keep replacing them and then another would fail or the same one would go out. But for a car that was built in ‘84, I was impressed that everything on the dash was completely digital. Had that annoying voice to remind you that you door is ajar and whatever else it had to say over and over and over. But it was still pretty cool.
