Default Civic SI for old guy

My sister and brother in law needed to "park" their 2006 Civic SI while they attended to their pregnant daughter, my niece, in So Cal (we live in No Cal). Anyway, they told me to drive it as much a possible.

I took my first drive today and I found the torque steer a little scary in the lower gears with the manual 6-speed. My "other" car is a '12 Buick GS automatic which has very good anti-torque steer suspension and rated at 275hp/292lbs. I can see that I'll be able to cruise at a pretty fast pace with this car (I'll need to install my Valentine if I go on any long drives).

Lots to learn about this bone stock car (although I think it may have uprated wheels and tires). Tomorrow I'll be looking through the owners manual to see what I can learn.
