Mine used to do that untill i did some of my power mods. i think it might be the combination of

a - Not enough torque to spin the wheels while its sideways
b - Stock dtss bushings stopping the drift prematurely
c - Poor pedal response

Is your car stock?

Bad fuel baffles in the tank? Meaning, when you're turning very hard, all the fuel is on the side of the tank, instead of getting sucked up into the engine.

The same thing can happen with engine oil, if you're low.

Sounds like fuel starvation to me which is bad any way it happens.

Check your fuel pump/voltage/filters(intank and inline)

oh and fill your tank up and don't do it with less than a 1/4-1/8th tank
Left turns are common area due to the fuel tank cage design.

Change your fuel sock, it's about $10 from the dealer, it pops on the bottom of the fuel pump, also change your fuel filter and backflow water through it, if there is alot of rust in your fuel filter you may need a new tank or at least a decent cleaning.
