Default Missing out on right curves??

Hello Vette buffs, I'm new to the Forum, looks like a great site.
Question.....I have an 02 for a year now and love it. Recently I have been experiencing what seems to be the engine missing out when I negotiate a right turn or curve as I excellerate. Could it have something to do with the traction control?? Runs great otherwise,no problem on straight aways or left curves. Any comments would be appreciated.

Sounds more like a fuel pickup problem to me.

Hard to see how it is a fuel pickup issue with the 2 tank design. To have pickup problems in a turn the gas level has to be close to empty. I know when I get a hesitation in turns I have to get off track quick or risk running out of gas on track.

When this happens do you see the Traction Active message on the DIC?

No Traction Active message on DIC.

It misses in all 3 selections A/T on, off and Competitive Driving.

Interesting problem, I was initially thinking about the yaw sensor but I don't think it's active with the TC turned off, I could be wrong though... As stated, check for "C" codes and post em!!!!
