Similar theory to billman, whats your specs on your tires? could be them just gripping every bump or crack and pulling your car in that direction, specially if your running wide tires all around and such!

Get new tires and when they rebalance them your shiftiness should go away. Are you on stock suspension? When lowered the bumpsteer is more pronounced.

have you checked your tire pressures? make sure they're even in the rear, as differences in the rear will cause the limited slip differential to cause the car to pull one way or the other under acceleration.

When I bought my S last year I had this same problem. I'd hit a small bump and it felt like the rear of the car would pull left and then right very quickly. I took it into the dealer and there were some bushings that were worn down on one of the crossbars, the sway bar I think. They replaced that and I have not felt it since. Goes to show a symptom like this could be a lot of things.
