My 2004 Taurus does that a little too and I think it is just wheel torque. As the front wheels pull forward, there is an opposite and equal force pushing up. In this case the car lifts up a little. In High School I think they called it Newtons law of opposing forces. Sort of like a motorcycle doing a wheelie.
