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.

Why do you want to spin the tires?

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