That seems to be the problem with V8 cars, try swapping out that bulky 5.0 for a 2.3 I-4, problem solved!!! Sorry, had to.....

What kind of tires are you running?

How is the suspension?

Thats easy, I have a new 306 with a S trim supercharger and I solved my prob by doing upper and lower control arms, rear cobra sway bar, panhard bar in the rear, new bilstein shocks and struts, nittos, cobra brakes, steeda bumpsteer, cc plates. I dont get sideways anymore on accident.

Maybe try launching at a lower rpm. Ease into it.
