It felt more like fuel starvation or TC/VDC cutting power more than anything else, although there's no evidence to suggest that's the case. That's what it feels like, though.

Bottom line is I solved the problem... I bought a new car. :/
gotcha, how do you like the 'stang? things beast and a half i hear.

I get what you describe real bad in first gear, even before the vdc would, i assume, kick in, as well as low rpm 2nd and 3rd.
