In support of BlackPantherSVT I would like to add that I have experienced similar problems. I've owned my car for almost 2 years with 23K now. I've been driving stick since I was 14(almost 9 years). In the RPM range 2000-3200 I experience slight bucking or hesitations at WOT. If I let off the gas slightly it smoothes a little and actually accelerates stronger than at WOT. I know this has nothing to do with it being an MTX. Over the years I've almost convinced myself that this must be normal but I just can't except that as fact when listening to others describe their driving experience. When I first bought the car I got as low as 14MPG. Now I average 22 with mixed city/hwy. However my tips do seem to be sooty not at all "clean as a whistle" as Rich in NH stated. So I guess what I'm saying is that you're not alone BlackPantherSVT.
I wish you luck and hopefully someone will come up with a solution to our problems.
