Yeah...You need to stop accelerating full-throttle into turns. The wheel is hard to turn in first gear at full-throttle to redline because you are experiencing torque-steer. You may also be hitting the rev-limiter.The car feels like it's about to lose control and skid out because it is about to lose control and skid out. Drive a bit more sensibly and you won't be accelerating in first gear at redline through a muddy ditch. You only have so much traction to work with. You have to balance it between accelerating/braking, and cornering.
You could also make the car handle better withperformance wheels and tires, some strut tower/tie bars,anti-swaybars, or a lower/stifferaftermarket suspension.

I also have another question. When i accelerate my car from a stopped position in 1st gear to make a 90 degree turn my steering wheel feels very tight and it gets very hard to move the wheel. And when it rains it feels like my car is about to lose controll and skid out. This only happens when I redline the car in 1st gear while turning. Do any of you know what is going on?
Thanks a lot guys cuz im still getin this stuff down.
