Lots of things.

- You drive a respectable car and yet have no idea what you're doing with it.
- You have access to the internet.

Do you mean "drifting" as in the unstable feeling at high speed or the "other" drifting?
What do you have for a suspension setup?

hmm ur talking about torque steer I think. Because of the way the differential and the engine sit in the engine bay sometimes under hard acceleration the front of the car will drift left or right. No way around it, its a ff thing you'll just have to countersteer.

Get an LSD and that will help with a lot of that torque steer. They make cheaper alternatives than the 1000 dollar expensive ones if your on a budget.

Hehehehe I believe the correct spelling is "y'all"

Quite frankly, I am tired to people around here using it (Midland, TX by the way). How hard is it to say "you all, you guys, and everybody" ?

Oh and FYI...y'all is not a word (even in Texas), it is a slang term along with fixin. Try putting "Y'all" in a graduate paper, and you will be reworded with a nice red mark.

Merlin answered your question. FWD tend to torque steer. Need LSD.

Yeah "yall" is not a word, it's a contraction between "you" and "all" resulting in y'all.

try getting stiffer motor mounts too. an lsd will help, but it doesn't just happen becuase one wheel is spinning and the other is not. more of your motor shifting over when it accelerates.

i can't really get out what i'm trying to say, but you get the idea.
