Anyone know whats up with that? I drift to the side when I'm accerlerating hard, anyone have this problem? It gets real hard to control also. Anyone have similar problems? Any ideas on how to fix it?

yup sounds like torque steer, or bad alignment.. first things first get an alignment, if it doesn't help try a LSD

It may also be that the car is tracking on lumpy roads if you're "testing" on the streets. There are a few road spots around my house where if I floor it the steering goes haywire.

Traction bars seem to help this a little aswell.... ie. Z10's, JimFab's,etc...
