ive had a similar problem, i was going around a bend, uphill, punched the gas and the tires broke loose
this was a left turn, my front is going straight at a tree, i cut the wheels, even more out of control, im going at a telephone pole now, cut wheels again, and end up on top of one of them sewers that stick out the gtound like 6-8 inches
i was lucky, my car totally missed hitting the sewer, the way the ground was it was under my car but i didnt hit it, i did get lots of dirt in my pass side wheel
it doesnt help that my suspension is shot (if anyone wants to donate used svt suspension thats in decent shape, id gladly take it  ) i cant afford suspension for a long time though

I've got some SVT front struts that may be OK. The rears are completly blown. I also have some parts of my ~80k mile GL suspension. Anything you want, you can have. You can even have the blown rear struts if you like.

So is this a side effect of having an LSD then??
Oh - Russell I have my 80K SVT suspension taking up space in the garage and I'd be willing to part with it cheap. Springs are in good shape if you don't mind some MI surface rust  The struts are in varying condition ranging from "OK" to "totally blown"

No that is a side effect of more torque, an LSD, and non-judicious use of said torque...
It just took learning a little different driving style.
