When the ground is wet or when i turn and step on the gas hard the front end bounces like crazy. Like the tires r gripping the road but slipping at the same time. Has this ever happened to u?

Everything on my camry is stock, could this be happening b/c the shocks r stock and they suck or r my shocks gone? :???:

BTW My camry is a 98 model w/ only 34,900 miles on it

that's called wheel-hop man, it's cause the tires are only gripping like half the time

no way it's a something that happens when u gas it too much, you're giving too much torque to the tires and they are not gripping to the road. YOU have to learn how to give the maximum amount of torque without getting the wheelhop. A way to increase the amount of torque that can go to the tires without getting wheelhop would be to get larger tires.
