How do you keep the car straight at WOT? Yesterday,I turned off the TCS and punched it at 20 mph.
Car spun so severely, it tried to go sideways and went into the left lane.
Dry road. Flat pavement.
What's the cure?

I all add to the above post... traction. All you need is traction. How you get it is up to you. Suspension, tires, chasis etc. If you don't have them already, try some LCAs and PHB for starters.
But in reality i have alot of suspension work done so i spin very very little in first and second gear even with 4.11s. So good tires would be in order along with some suspension if you deem it necessary

when i first got my car (17) I took it to a local school parking lot and would whip it around corners trying to loose control, id drive it in the rain and in all kinds of weather so i got used to how it would react and how to control it. One time i remember pulling outof a car wash, and trying to jump in the highway the car got rrrrrreal sideways and i was totally unprepared, but because i used to whip my car around back in the day i was able to keep it under control and not crash into the ford dealership, allthough there were some mustangs there that maybe i shouldhave taken out.

Suspension, tires, and knowledge of how to apply the throttle in your car in specific situations. Some cars simply aren't going to hook from a 1st gear roll on 17" wheels, so you have to know how to squeeze that throttle just right.
