Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just my car?
I was just thinking about this today and whether or not I should post it here to see if anyone else felt it. +1 rep for reading my mind.

As far as I know, this is normal. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on how you roll out of the clutch and how much throttle you have applied. My Mustang GT didn't do it with stock 3.27 gears, but when I swapped them out for 4.10s it did buck a bit at times.
