car feels like its "bouncing" when driving in the morning

well ever since i got the car a week ago i have noticed when the car is cold in the morning it feels like car is lugging a trailer behind it until you drive a few miles and it goes away. any ideas? think of it as if you let the clutch out too fast when pulling away and the car will bounce up and down til it finally grabs. is that what my clutch is doing in the morning? it doesnt slip and there are no performance issues. i jsut find it strange.

Clutch delay valve symptom? Where it feels like its not biting real quick. Just a guess but I think I know what you mean.

Most likely, the high-performance tires are just cold and have taken a "set" that goes away when warm. Or, you have a tread separation and need a new tire.

my friend had the same issue, now he's a low rider.
