Do you guys get this?
I've recently (due to cooler temps) have been "practicing" my take off at street light. Trying to see how quickly i get to 60 and how much gas i should give it to get there quickly.........well i've noticed about 3 -4 times that i'll chirp the wheels when the car shifts from 1st -2nd. I first thought it might be the road (uneven) but now i've done it on different roads. Also, i've have another passenger and he was like "What was that?". I told him, yea it's called POWER 
I don't have any mods on the car at all!
Do you think it's wheel spin and the wheels are jumping up and down? Trying to grip the ground? I don't/haven't noticed any steering jitter or anything like that. What do you think it is?

With the HTR+ i just feel more pull now that the tires can grip the asphalt better.

As far as you being able to chirp second, if you can do that consistently, its probably 1 of 3 things.
1) When you chirp the 1-2, your powertrain is still cold, fluids are not yet circulating,
2) Your 1-2 shift is somehow delayed, slipping perhaps, so when the tranny finally goes into 2nd, the rpm's are higher than they should be, causing you to bark the dogs in second.
3) You have a freak car from the factory
Oh, and being able to chirp 2nd gear in an AUTO doesn't necessarily equate to quicker 0-60 or 1/4. If your tranny is indeed acting up, it will make your times worse actually.

Also, if you only hear a momentary chirp upon take-off, it's because your TCS is on and begins retarding power to minimize wheelspin once it is detected. In addition, are you manually shifting your auto? That may contribute to the chirp between 1st and 2nd.

I can chirp the tire on my mom Ford Contour Auto!! Surprising!! Maybe not, slow tranny is the key!!
Hope for you that's the third choice 
1) When you chirp the 1-2, your powertrain is still cold, fluids are not yet circulating,
2) Your 1-2 shift is somehow delayed, slipping perhaps, so when the tranny finally goes into 2nd, the rpm's are higher than they should be, causing you to bark the dogs in second.
