Default hard to drive straight

When i floor my car especially when i am already going in first my car goes pretty hard to the left. What would cause this? It just started this recently. I know it doesnt have to do with the alignment. Let me know what yall think i should do about this

Could it be loss of traction. I know when I had crappy bald good year tires and stomped it my car would go left. Also my new transmission shifts really hard and when it shifts 1st to 2nd the car jumps a little to the left. My t lock is a little warn, it could be because the right wheel gets more power for a second.

Check the rear u&lca's and the torque boxes. Maybe a problem in the diff. If it drives stright normally, I doubt it's in the front end.
