Squirming under acceleration
It seems to me that when I get on it the rear end squirms around a little. has any one else felt this and is there a mod for it. I am a new owner only about 1500 miles thought it was the road at first but under further testing it seems to be the rear end.

I tend to have this same problem, I think some one waxed the tires cause they just don't grip when I get on it

No thats not what I mean and I know what Torque feels like trust me. This is the suspension.

I need to get it on the lift and have the dealer check it. No have not tried it without traction control but I can feel when the tires are breaking loose. this seems to me like the rubber atachment points on the back suspension maybe I'm crazy.

Mine does it all the time, especially with TC off. WIth TC on it's much more controllable, but I like it squirming around. It feels powerful

Make sure the tunnel brace is on and tight. I know from my experience when I had it off for a while the car was pretty squirley on a hard take off. That was back when my SS was still basicly stock. After that make sure everything in back is tight as specked and no bent parts. Take it back to the dealer and let them check it out. Good luck.

My SS moves around a little under hard acceleration too but it's really noticeable on bumpy roads. This is from the tires losing traction momentarily. The car feels fine on perfectly smooth roads though.
Aftermarket trailing arms and new subframe bushings will improve the feel of the suspension under hard accleration. The stock trailing arms are known to twist....even on a stock car with stock tires.

May be the lsd or suspension flexing. Had no issues stock. You stock? Auto or manual? Mine got squirmy after adding some stuff.
