Default Shimmy on initial acceleration

What a great forum! My wife and I bought PT Cruisers within a few days of each other. She has a 2005 Cream color basic, four door, automatic, 2.4L FI and I have a 2005 Silver and Black convertible, five speed, 2.4L FI. Upon initial acceleration, for both cars, you can feel a shimmy in the steering wheel. On mine it carries into second gear. Know anything about this? When you take off from a stop, on her's, there is a slight delay and then the car leaps forward. Know anything about that? K&N says they don't have a FIPK for the 2005's yet. Anything else out there that will work or should I wait?

Thanks to all of you. Hope some day I can return the favor.
