Car lunges/follows ruts under power

My 2007 9-3SS 2.0T seems to follow our lane ruts here in Oregon, and it's really bad if I have the gas on - lunges left and right depending on which rut or pavement irregularity it happens to prefer at the moment. On most of our crappy freeways, accelerating while changing lanes can be downright annoying/scary because the car feels like it has a mind of it's own. The problem isn't noticeable on smooth pavement or if not accelerating.
I bought the car at 36K, and noticed it right off so I swapped out the tires for new Primacy's - still does it. The car has 42K now and I recently took it into the dealer, who did an alignment. They said it was way out but even after the alignment it still tracks off on ruts and seams, although not as bad. Is this normal for these cars - I had 9-5's before and they sure don't do this. Other than that I love the handling.
