Default Car stuttering...is this normal?

I haven't really pushed my car hard until recently. When accelerating from a stop if I pull off normally and then mash on it with traction control off my car will begin to lose traction and then it stutters2 or 3 times almost as if traction control is on but a harsher feeling.

Should I be concerned?

It is normal. It starts, then stops, then starts again if you keep your foot in it. It is the score protection in the PCM/TCM. You can get that removed with a tune but if you have a stock trans. I would suggest against that. It will only fail quicker...
