Engine Suging/Jumping

When I accelerate hard up a banked and inclined freeway on-ramp it feels like the whole front of my car is bouncing up and down. It is as if something is happening between the wheels/engine/breaks which is preventing smooth acceleration and instead converting it to an up-down motion.

Clearly I am running out of traction, but why the bounce. Is the electronic break force distribution or ABS kicking in for some reason. Obviously when I back off the throttle it stops immediately.

Has anyone else experienced this going up hill, or even on level ground.
 
No. It must be wheel hop. Launch an MSP in the cold if you want violent wheel hop. We MSP folks put stiffer motor mounts in to fight this off.
