'95 Camry - slight bump when accelerating from stop

Just wondering if anyone else out there ever ran into this. When I am at a dead stop with my 1995 camry and hit the accelerator a little hard, I feel a slight bump as it takes off. It sounds a little like a suspension issue, but I can't rule out the transmission or engine mounts (the mounts LOOK good but that may not mean they are not bad). The car has 107K miles on it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

If what I experience is normal from spinning tires..

Could just be your tires slipping, as there is alot of "bumping" when I try to hammer on the gas off a stop.

My first guess for that mileage would be the engine mounts.
Try this, with the car in park and the hood up, put your foot on the brake and watch the engine when you keep your one foot on the brake and put the car in drive and tap the accelerator with the other foot. Watch and see if the engine tilts hard forward. It should move a little. If it moves a lot and you feel the thump then your mounts are gone. You mileage is about the same as mine when I needed new mounts and had the same symptom.

Front engine mount, the one right under the exhaust header. It;s really common and happened on my old '92 Camry,
