Car is twisting... normal? Saturday I went out and hung out with a buddy at one point he was following me and I did a downshift to second and took off, he said he could tell everytime I shifted and said "it is cool to see your bumper just inches from the ground instantly and the car twisting" and after thinking about it I have noticed the twisting and can feel it in the car.
Is it normal for that? Car is completely stock from what I can tell, wife even commented on it yesterday when I took off hard that she can feel it and it scares the crap out of her.
Maybe a motor or tranny mount going out or something? Am I just damn paranoid?

Well it is a unabody car meaning the front subframe and the rear sabframe aren't connected. I'm not sure how much a 4th gen flexs but i would assume its mor then me due to you guys having more power.

I turn TCS off religiously, I even do it before I put my seatbelt on, I need to just breakdown and buy a switch from SLP so it is always off. Traction isn't an issue.
There is a gif if a older Mustang taking off at the track and you see it almost fall on the right rear wheel and says "got torque?", it kind of feels like that is happening, except I am positive my front wheels are staying on the ground!
Could it be from the spare and jack? I forgot they were even back there until last night when I was cleaning the car, but they don't weight enough to cause that do they? I would think me sitting in the driver seat would eliminate that and make it come from the left side rather than the right.

Yup, that is what it feels like, but I am pretty positive though my front wheels are staying on the ground though! 
Looking at that, why does he start out in what looks like reverse?

Subframe connectors will help. Add a roll bar & it will go away completely....unless you drive like Ellis. 
Then all the attach points "oil can" on you......
