Yes. Called Evo Thump. Can replace rear diff bushings with poly. No hard thump, but can translate more sound into the car (gear sound).

I get the same thing.. it's normal. As mentioned above it's the rear diff hitting the chassis -- or something like that.
you can stop it from doing that by doing the things mentioned above. Otherwise, if it bugs you that much, don't shift so hard and it won't happen.

Yeah...First time driving the Evo I thought it was the car. Then I asked some of my friends they told me I'm letting the clutch off too fast. (of course this was done at the dealer, which I never bought) =)
