Default Loud "clunk" when breaking back tires loose

When I decide to floor it from a stop or attempt a burnout in my 2005 350Z (base trim) The back tires feel like they're getting caught on something, or just that I sometimes will hear a "clunk" and the back end will kick a bit and I can't seem to figure out what could be interfering in my attempt to kill off these tires.


Any info would be appreciated, as I much enjoy burning rubber without that happening.

How's your rear diff bushing? They're silicone filled rubber and when they blow they leak black down your subframe.

Like this. I stole this pic off google image search.

He's got quite a valid point. Please don't be a dumbass in public. You just ruin the appearance of the G/Z crowd.
