MisterTaz,
I feel this sensation with the TC OFF, and the light is not flashing as it is doing it. Again, I am talking about punching it from a 50mph roll on dry pavement. It could be the wheels spinning slightly, but the TC light is not flashing. It feels more like flex to me. If I accelerate on wet pavement - totally different feeling. Now that is full on tire slip, TC engagement (even when off) and the beginning of a fish tail, but I do not get the sensation of suspension flex.

Do the same maneuver but remove your traction control and see what you feel. I can tell you from experience in my car you'd better be holding on! The torque transfer is gone and you are accelerating sideways down the road with both rear tires spinning. Not for the faint of heart !

We were able to experience the same thing in Rudy's car (to a lesser degree) as well. If I had to guess you are feeling the traction control rather than suspension flex...

Stay safe...
