The car has the ability to make the rear step out to the left in gears 1-3, that is called HP :) Make sure you are running 30 - 31 PSI in the rear wheels, more reduces contact patch. And yes wheel hop is a problem that you learn to get around by experience and/or like I did by installing rear polu u bushings which helped all but eliminate it on my car.

Just use a bit of right rudder.
They ALL torque to the left, except jets.
