Car makes a loud "clunking" noise when letting off the gas when WOT - What is that?
I have a Giac X right now i've noticed that if i'm ever in first or second gear at wide open throttle and I let off the throttle quickly (not shifting) the whole car will shoot forward (duh...physics) and makes a clunk noise. I'm on stock suspension and don't have a DTS or snub mount. Is this common to hear when you let off the gas and shift the weight of the car forward to hear a clunking sound?

probably your rear long neck mount banging into the bottom of the car...
...or the propeller shaft doing the same thing.

Engine mounts broken (that would not be uncommon) could be cuasing something to hit.
I'd follow the driveline with a flashlight and look for marks. Then check the motor mounts.

could also be vehicle speed sensor...
mine got wet and went bad. I had the same symptoms- a big thud when i let off the gas. Its located on the drivers side of the transmission-not tough to swap out. You may want to take a look at that as well. good luck.
