Default Problem I'm having
So I'm at a redlight today...and i'm playing with the person next to me...and when it turns green, I basically floor my gas pedal. Well, when I do this...there was a loud grinding noise and the entire car vibrated pretty bad. And the car doesn't accelerate untill i release the pedal and accelerate slowly...

Any ideas what this could be?
