I have a '99 GT, Automatic, no major mods just K&N Filter and Flows. I have stock tires on it, they are 225/55/16. My question is when I am going about 10-15 mph and I punch it the car kicks sideways really bad and then straightens out, at that point the tires are not squealing. I never recall the car doing this before, this just starting happening about 1 month ago. I plan on purchasing new tires as soon as I get the money. Is this normal for the car to do this or does it sound like a traction problem that needs to be looked at?
Thanks, Beth
