Default weirdest thing happend... needin some help

i pull out of a restraunt and decide to get on it and go half way through third, i left off and the car does this weird wobble... best way i can describe it is like if one of the brakes (front corner which i cant tell) was trying to stop the car, it wobbles weirdly like if i was pushing on and off the brake. its happend twice now. i figured it might be the traction control but it happend with the traction control off. only change made is i put a axle back on. i have a 2011 gt manual

May have been your front tire touching down after that takeoff!!!
Actually, that's weird, I have no idea, keep us posted.

Well there is off and there is OFF when talking about traction control. If you just press the button once the off light comes on the dash in amber, this allows wheel spin but if you are sliding sideways in any way the brakes will apply! Then there is OFF foot on the brake pedal stopped for 5-8 seconds then amber light appears on dash and its"Jesus take the wheel" and all control is either in your hands or his!

Can't really describe it.. but when you really DO take off.. the front end will sway as the rear tries to grab traction.. you might feel like it's braking because the car is trying to again.. grab traction. It gets wicked with TCS off. Not sure if that was what you are referring to. That is what a RWD muscle car will do.
