Question Wierd Problem, What causes this?

Everyday when I leave work in my 02 z28 m6 I have the same problem, and only at this one spot. Leaving my parking lot and going into the culdesac, the parking lot is a little higher than the street so for about 5 feet your drive down at an angle. Not overly steep, but steep enough that i have to go slowly so not to scrape the front end.

Now after I have gone down and all for wheels are on the flat street. I ease the clutch out and hit the gas to drive off. But every day the car stutters. It accelerates in waves. It last for a good 1 1/2 to 2 seconds. Its the strangest thing. Sorry for the long read but any have an idea what would cause this? My car is only under warrenty for the next few days.

Thanks people,
Ryan

Maybe you need to resurface the flywheel?

do you let the car warm up alittle, of jump in and go? I never had that problem, but I never move mine untill water temp is around 150- 160 first notch on the temp guage.

I usually let it sit for at least a minute before going anywhere, usually longer. Thanks for your replies guys.
