Back End Movement At WOT Shifts?

Back End Movement At WOT Shifts?
On three occasions I accelerated my XKR at full throttle from slow roll to 60 and 75 MPH. Each time I felt a tail wag when it would shift up to the next gear, and that includes the shift at 60/65 or so. Now the road surface was good and dry in all cases. The wag requires a little driver input to keep the vehicle moving straight on. Is this the tires (295 - 20 -20) breifly losing traction? The car really scoots!

That's the tires breaking loose, or about to, and then the feel of the e-diff engaging to limit slip. Bit of a weird sensation. You may also see the stability control indicator flashing momentarily on the dash (squiggle lines) unless you have the DSC shut off.
I've experience this several times when pulling out to pass as a tire crosses over the painted line where grip is reduced. Blame the over-achieving engine with monsterous torque and the gearbox that conspires to vaporize the rear tires.
