On the panhard bar- if you ever lower it you will likely need one worse (lowering seems to make the offcenter issue worse).
Driver mod is free - practice launching somewhere SAFE. Learn where the break-loose point is and how to drive "around" it. It's a slippery (no pun intended) slope between a good launch and grenading the tires, as you've seen.

To see if your diff is bad, do a rolling burn out on asphalt somewhere so you can see the marks afterwards. If it leaves a one-wheel peel, your LSD is shot.
Check out the big NMRA drag racers - most of them run autos. The 5R55 just doesn't like 2 gear kickdowns at all

I have 4.10's and full off road exhaust and while I can certainly spin tires after changing the parts previously listed (LCA's and tires) I suggest you learn how to launch with 4.10's. I can launch my car pretty hard with a lot less wheel spin than you're saying on my 275 wide rear Nitto 555's.

UPR Products suspension and those M/Ts you mentioned will make it hook like glue.
I'm running full UPR suspension on my '06 GT with 275/40-18 Nitto NT05s and it hooks very well. Drag Radials will be even better!

Or you can just jack up one tire and put a torque wrench on the lug nut. It should take over 25 ft lbs to turn the wheel with the other on the ground. I think the spec is 30 or 35 actually.

Reading a lot and taking notes guys! was kinda on the fence earlier about the pan hard bar, lot of back and forth. THEN my girlfriend read over the thread while I was in the shower... told me I'm getting a pan hard bar for my birthday whether I like it or not so that's pretty sweet. she helped lower the car.
as for the driver mod, I think everyone is right. between the new wheels and 4.10s, my driving ability could use some tweaking. I'll work on this weekend for sure and update everyone.
am I reading, turn off the traction control before a pull, correctly? just want to make sure.
once a year for spring I do a burn out in the park up the road from my house, me and a few friends to celebrate getting the cars out. I've always laid down the two thickest black lines. I'll make sure I lay down two again this year. two weeks from now if the weather holds up.
thanks everyone, I thought I was doing x-pipe in a week, dyno tuning the car and calling it quits for a while. looks like my girl has one more big upgrade coming up. suspension
oh, this may be the most retarded question anyone has seen... but will rear UCA/LCA or a panhard affect a dyno? maybe the way car . . . idk shifts or somthing? I'm guessing no, but I'd hate to be wrong after paying $500 for a dyno tune.
thanks!
