well here's the story, from what i have gathered on the car and the condition it was in when i got it, it was strictly a highway daily driver for possibly an older couple as the car had 123k miles on it and was totally stock. Not sure on that, its just assumptions. When i first got the car a few months ago it was on some trashy looking kumho's that looked like they had been on the car forever. Took the car to the track twice and both times i couldnt hook for anything so im pretty sure these havent been hurting the car, they just spin. The past 3 days i have acquired a set of 17x9 and 17x9.5 03 cobras wrapped with bfgs. These things have proven to be able to hook and hardly spin at all. THE PROBLEM IS... when i woke up this working and headed to school i backed out and noticed something from the back of the car was popping. I keep my cleaning supplies back there and i figured hey maybe the box is just sliding around back there. Well it was the box. Its not a constant pop every time i start but say i back out of the drive way and start to move forward there is a slight pop from the rear end they you are able to hear and feel. I was sitting at a stop light a few minutes ago and i was just about to move from the light and i took it from neutral into 1st and right as i did that it popped again from the rear end. Sometimes it well do it when i back up as well. Opinions guys? It's getting looked at tomorrow.

Blown bushings or a loose bolt would be my first bet.

As mentioned check your bushings and look for a damaged engine/trans mount.

problem was figured out, we took the rear end apart to see what was going on and the differential is shot... tons of slack in the rear end and i need a new set of gears.
