Default Not sure what its called when this happens.

Rolling on the road, no one near me and im in 3rd gear at about 35-40mph. I let the revs drop down and floor it. It goes but then i guess the back tires break loose and the rear of the car basicaly simplest i can put it "sways" sort of like a fishtail you could say. Easy to gain back control, but its annoying.

I like to call it getting sideways I think it's fun.

Suspension and/or tire upgrades OR learn to feather the pedal instead of simply flooring it. Be glad you have the power to break free. You just need to be able to handle it.

Come to think of it, when I'm rolling at about 60 then drop into 3rd and go WOT, I wonder what's WRONG if the back end doesn't act like it wants to break free...
