Need feedback on SL 55 driving issue

I recently bought an 03 SL55 AMG and I love the acceleration and pull that car offers.
During hard accelerations, when I quickly release my foot off the gas pedal, I experience an awful jerking (I don't know what other word to use).
I'm not sure if this is normal due to the function of the supercharger or do I have a clutching issue? I'm hoping for a somewhat smooth, non-jerking action when I stop a hard acceleration by releasing the gas pedal. Is this not possible with a supercharged car?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

SL65 AMG
Likely your just letting off in high revs with full boost in a low gear so the engine is reving down slowing the car. A better description would help.

What he said, you're in boost and you let off.
