Maybe I need to re-structure my question: When I get on it hard, specially when the turbos get wound up, it's like driving on ice with my car, you just kind of point it in a general direction and hope it stays there, it's pretty much all over the place until the front end settles down. My first thing to point at is the tires, no traction? but do I want to go there with my Michelins? Could it be the shocks? Could it be that I need to add steering dampers? How bad will it be when I start my mods and add HP?
2010 SHO right (no signature)? Alignment done recently? Still on OEM tires? I am assuming non-PP since you have the Michelins? If all these check out, I'd have the tie rod ends checked, as they are known to have wear issues on this Gen.

2010 yes, alignment done-yes, not OEM tires, but they are Michilin Primacy MXZ 4's, kind of seems like once the front end picks up I loose traction, and of course when you loose traction in the front the rear locks in and starts pushing. It just makes the car feel completely out of control for a few seconds. Me being new to the Front wheel drive/ all wheel drive Hot Rod/Sleeper car class I really don't know what to do to fix it, or If it's just something I need to learn how to get used to. I know on rear wheels drive cars there are all kinds of tricks to get better traction.
Don't know what it's like in the Gen 4 SHO, but never had any problems with the FWD-AWD transition (already used to a bit of torque steer). Do any lights come on in the cluster when the steering event happens? Try turning off the AdvanceTrac system, as per Rich's suggestion above. Should be a button for it in the instrument panel/center stack. The owner's manual should also explain the functions of AdvanceTrac/ESC around pg 251 or so in the DRIVING section.

I haven't tried it with the TCS off, No lights come on when the event happens, I know on my Formula I had to turn the TCS off anytime I showed my ass or else the ignition cut out would kick in when the rear tires started spinning and would make me look stupid when the car fell on it's face.
