Default Went to Cars & Coffee, Ended Up on a Flatbed

I went to car's and coffee with some friends this morning and it was a blast, there were some truly incredible cars as always! After watching all the cars pull out, we decided to leave so I led the way.

I was on the on ramp merging onto the 405 and was in 3rd gear around 60mph and acceleration stopped. There was no power so I started pressing the gas pedal and the car didn't respond at all. So I left it in gear and coasted into the emergency lane where as soon as I let the clutch out, the car died.

I tried starting it and it just cranked but no fire. Called a flatbed to bring it to the dealer and periodically tried to start, each time the car would catch or idle for a second then die again. After getting to the dealer, I went to start the car and it started up just fine.

Does this sound like the cam sensors went out? That was my guess after recalling many a thread about the car stalling while driving. They already said it would be warrantied but it was a bummer! First time that my Z was towed, and that it broke down on me.
