It sounds more like a Balance problem but you probably need to try and get a better idea of where it is coming from...... could be tailshaft, diff, driveshafts, wheel bearings, brakes, diff mounts, gearbox mounts, shocks or springs or a bubble/bulge in your tyre.

As flycasta said, it could be lots of things, first things first get to a tyre shop or at least take the rear wheels in for a balance. Start with the smallest possible problem first.
As a recent converter from vicious to Torsen.... It's always Torsen time! They're so nice I knew mine was due for replacement when it was making gunshot type noises that had no dicernable rhythm, and it would hop and clunk in a gutwrenching Fashion.
Hope it's an easy fix for you.

Sounds like diff to me and you need to clean the car.

... or loose wheel nuts? Much cheaper to fix if it is.

Me thinks all those hard launchs/burnouts on Rspecs at various hillclimbs have finally caught up with the 23 year old vlsd!!!!

Yes does need a clean lol. Wheels nuts are to torque first thing I checked cause I was worried about my brand new wheels. Also tyres and wheels are new so we're just balanced so I doubt that is it but no ruling It out yet. Diff points are brand new and engine mounts are not old either. Bearings I don't think have ever been changed.... see what happens when I jack it up tonight
