    To start, I've got a 2000 GTP that's pretty much stock. In the last few months I've noticed that when trying to slowly accelerate while driving in OD the car surges and shakes. The tach stays steady but the rest of the car shakes. If I step into it, it accelerates fine. Outside of that, the car runs fine. Any ideas on the cause??

    I think I found the problem. Looks like the driver's side inner CV boot has leaked. I already replaced the passenger's side since I could see the grease everywhere in the engine compartment but didn't notice this one. Could this be the culprit??

    Yes, what you described sounded like a bad CV shaft. Replace it and see if it fixes it.
