While I've enjoyed the heck out of everyone's responses, I probably should have been more specific about my traction troubles. Living as I do in rural Michigan, I frequenty have the opportunity to pull into heavy traffic on two lane roads, necessitating a healthy stab of the GO pedal. Of course, this is mainly in the name of courtesy. Few things are more aggravating than someone who pulls out in front of you and forces you to slow down while they think about accelerating to the speed limit. Now where was I? What seems to happen when I nail the throttle from below 25mph is that the car wants to dart one way or the other, depending on which front wheel is getting better traction. Will the urethane engine mount help this situation, or do all you guys have limited-slip diffs?

Yep, that happens with front wheel drive cars if they produce much horsepower. Typically worse pulling to the right. Just remember that contrary to popular belief, the throttle is not an off-on switch.
