I was just razzing ya MP3wiz. Usually it takes a car with alot more H.P. than a NA car has to cause really disturbing "fish tailing". But that's usually on cars that have a "posi" style rear end.
If you're talking about it going a little sideways when it shifts from 1st. to 2nd., that's just because the tires are braking loose from the pavement, and the torque keeps the tire spinning and it is quite literally "screwing" the back end of your car sideways until it can get a good enough "Bite" to continue pushing your car forward again.
Imagine what a SRT6 driver has to put up with.
I'd suggest better tires.
Good Luck
