Default Is this normal?

First the Important Details:
1993 Honda Civic Si
Stock Engine, Stock Transmision, non-special replacement clutch.
Stock Wheels

When I drop the clutch a little quick and spin the front tires, my whole front end shakes... Sometimes so hard that it goes Bang Bang Bang.... Until I let off on the gas and stop the wheels from slipping. It feels like the whole front end is jumping up and down. At that it doesn't do it all the time.

Is this normal behaviour? Is it just caused by the tires slipping on the pavement? Or is may car screaming for help and I'm just not listening.
