Ok but the Civic Type R and Elantra N aren’t drag race cars. So the launch isn’t high up on the priority list. You don’t buy these cars for that.
They pretty much stomp on most other cars in their price range when it comes to track/autocross times, even cars who have better 0 to 60 launches due to AWD and RWD.
From a roll. Have you ever launched a FWD car with 300+ HP?

Yes.
With modern suspension designs and LSDs it’s perfectly fine. You have to manage traction, but torque steer doesn’t have to be an issue.
My GTI is making 350lbft to the wheels and I don’t have any issues with torque steer.
Since when was launching a car from a stop related to its handling characteristics? Lol
