you're prob getting a type of torque steer.

look into LSD units as they equalize the distribution of power.

but i've never heard of a FF car lose control, like what you are describing.

Sounds to me you don't know how to control the car and respect the power.

You should get a LSD probably.
Get an MR2 Kaaza LSD; one guy on this forum has an MR2 LSD on his Solara.

i got a new set of nittos 555 in the front...before it would just pull to the right hard, now the steering wheel would jerk to the left and right everytime i launch... maybe i should hold the steering wheel harder or something..... or with two hands.....

It is damn torque steer because you only have one wheel spinning hard. you need LSD. you can get the phatom LSD for MR2, it is not as great as clutch type LSD, but it works and only cost half price of clutch type LSD

actually the people that post about lsd is wrong ... What you have is torque steer my friend and every high horsepower/ high torque fwd car will have this issue, even with lsd... I still had this issue with my KAAZ 1.5way ...
Unless your in a prefect road/track and using non-grooved tires ( i.e. slicks)

Call KAAZ USA at 949-631-0990 look for Ray Nakadatae ( President of KAAZ USA) or Saggee and tell them Justin the one with Turbo Camry and the black echo sent you ... they've done an lsd install in a Solara before..

I suggest staying with a
1 way = fwd
1.5way = fwd and rwd
2way = rwd only
