Default Bog Down

My 2001 Vert runs strong. It is quick off the line, no hesitation. The problem is that when I hold my foot on the brake pedal and hit the gas pedal at the same time it starts to bog down. Whats going on ?

Ahhh... maybe your traction control is pulling power (timing) out to keep you from spinning the tires.

My guess would be... If you lift your left foot you wouldnt notice the bogging down!

How hard you pushing on the brakes? If you are trying to "powerbrake" get a line lock, or you'll destroy your rear pads.
