I've got a 2016 gt with the performance pack and when I accelerate lightly from a stop left or right the inside tire skips like it's on full lock. Is this normal?

Inside wheel hop is a known phenomena. I'm not sure it can be completely fixed, specially with a Torsen, but it can be improved for sure.

In that situation its more the Torsen than the wheel hop. Try it with all the nanny's off and see how it acts.

Especially with the OEM summer tires, in colder temperatures, it might be entirely possible that the Torsen is aggressive enough to overcome the inside tire's grip and make it crow hop (which is how I interpret the OP). That is not the same thing as having the inside tire spin up, of course. If the car is prone to wheel hop, then it would exaggerate the effect.
