This morning I nailed it around a corner and slid the car sidways to the driver side under power and the motor lost power until I got strait again. I had over a 1/4 tank of fuel. I was controling the slide with power until the motor tried to cut out. anyway what is lose, where is it , how do I fix it?

It was probably fuel slosh ... at the strip , I momentarily lose power off the line if the gauge is under half tank ... my gauge readings are getting more vague day by day and I'm certain that it has something to do with 10% or less ethanol in every gallon of gas ...

You need more fuel in the tank. Anything near a 1/4 tank and I suffer the same. I don't trust my gauge, so I try to keep at least a half tank minimum.
