Lauching to the right???
just to start, i KNOW i dont drive a ford... but i figured you guys would be the best to ask about this... ok here is my question... why is it when you launch, or just floor, a RWD car that has power, it ALWAYS dips to the right... my RX7 does it and all fords do it... just check scotts avatar if you dont know what i am talking about...

Possibly your suspension needs some tweaking, or your differential isn't evenly putting power to each wheel. Maybe one side is getting more traction that the other.
There's quite a few of different possibilities.

It all begins w/ Newton's third law of motion.For every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction.For example when a gun is fired it must kick back with an equal and opposite force to that which is applied to the bullet.The engine exerts similiar forces and counter-forces that affect the operation of a race car.The cause of the behavior that you mentioned is called rear end torque rotation.Rear end torque rotation tends to increase left rear wheel traction and decrease right rear wheel traction.Uncorrected,this will push the car to the right on acceleration.

thank you all for the information... i do fully understand why this happens now... what would be the best way to correct this??? i am guessing there really isnt a way to rid myself of it... the reason i say that is even RACE ONLY track cars do this... i would guess that they have tried to fix this problem...
oh yeah and it is not uneven power distrobution, i do have an LSD (posi)...
thanks again...
