In Sport+ mode, car spins to the right. Been trying to gain details to figure out when to expect this.
Conditions: Moderate acceleration through an intersection, I believe it is in 2nd gear between 25-30, nail throttle, transmission downshifts to first which revs the engine, slight delay, boost jumps up, tires break loose, and almost instantly the car is sideways to the lane. No indication of traction control, but neither did I keep foot on gas once sideways.
Above 60 deg F
Bring on the "poor driver" comments if you wish, but is anyone else experiencing the sudden right turn?

My Cobra always kicked out to the right. Always had to pedal/steer if the tires were cold.

Nothing special yet
Any slope or difference in traction will make the car pull out one way or another when the wheels start spinning, whether it is from road crown, sand / oil / water, etc, or from body torque roll pulling weight off of one side.

The LSD is doing it's job then. The limited slip isn't a direct correlation to keeping the tires from spinning at all, it is to keep one wheel from excessive slip compared to the opposite side while still allowing some slip while cornering/turning during normal driving. When one tire looses traction, the diff locks the other axle in, giving both equal power and if there isn't enough traction for the tires to stick to the road given the amount of torque being applied, the fish tail you are describing commences.
