Not sure what its called when this happens.

You can get suspension upgrades and better tires to cut down on how easily it does it but if you think this car is not going to go sideways on you when you do something that aggressive to it you are dreaming.
This car has some beef to it and is rear wheel drive.
It's a muscle car not a luxury sedan.
The kind of driving that you are doing when this happens is dangerous.
Plain and simple. Dangerous with just about any car.
Point being is that you must be careful with it.
Nothing wrong with hitting that throttle and letting her rip every once in a while
but be careful where you do it as well as when and how you do it.
Forcing the car to go sideways is just asking to lose control and end up in a ditch
or plowed into a telephone pole or tree.
Step on it... but do so where you know it won't go sideways on you.
If it seems to be doing this all the time... you definitely need to look at
getting some suspension upgrades and some better tires.
look at getting some upper and lower control arms and a set of good tires
What tires are you running now?
Stock?

Get some more rubber on your tires. You're running rubber bands right now. I only cut loose when I want to have a little fun and I usually have TC off, but then it doesn't always cut loose either. I always feather the throttle, last thing I need is to swipe out others on the street going sideways.

BTW, his car is an Automatic.
Learn to know your car better and as has been covered, get stickier tires.

As I understand it... When you punch-it in a Rear wheel drive, weight transfers to the back and causes the car to squat, our cars have a panhard rod that does a descent job of keeping the rear end centered, but it does create an arc as the rear end moves up and down, which means there is some lateral (sideways) motion of the rear end when it squats, this combined with the power you are providing that exceeds the stickiness of the tires, causes it to kick out to one side. As others have said, tires and suspension will reduce this tendency.
In addition to the control arms already discussed (which control the weight transfer better), an adjustable panhard rod should help, with a watts link setup (replacing the panhard) being better yet.
Start with more rubber.

To the guys with the pointless suggestions such as the hybrid or get a sedan, this IS my first aggressive muscle car, and this is why i am asking. Im running pretty used up falkens, and need to change tires but im looking into getting 18's. And yes i know its very dangerous, thats why i made sure no one was around me because i know it tends to happen.
To the guys that actual helped me out, thanks much appreciated.
