Street tires are like a governor. You nail it and both tires spin and it doesn't make any difference how much HP you have after that. It's controllable and relatively safe barring idiocy.
But having drag slicks can make it much, much worse.
For them to hook up predictably several variables have to be just right. If one tire gets good traction and the other does not, the car can make a very surprising sharp turn.
Usually into something.
Big HP only makes the suddenness more sudden.
