Is this normal?

[wuzzzer]

This is what happens when I'm driving:
Cruising on the highway at 60mph, the tach reads 2100rpm or so. If I let off
the gas just for a second or two and then reapply the gas even slightly, the
revs will jump up to 2500-2600, then after about a second or two they'll drop
back down to 2100. Is this normal?
I notice that it happens at lower speeds, too. This is from just barely
applying any pressure to the pedal, not nearly enough for it to kick down to
a lower gear.
Is this common?? Sorry if I'm being ignorant about something here!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's something in the transmission taking a second to lock up again (torque converter?).

Yep, its the torque converter. The V8 SHO has a unusually high converter for factory, I believe its 2800 RPM. Most factory ATX's come with a 1600-1800 RPM converter.
