08 C6 bogging down/loosing around corners

Hello all, New to me C6 LS3 Vette about 2 weeks ago. I have noticed that sometimes, not often, around a corner under hard acceleration the engine power will bog down and almost cut out. I have done a little research on this topic and haven't found much information on this specific car.

Any input would be appreciated on this before I take it to the mechanic to figure out.

thanks

Did you try it in competition mode or with traction and active handling off?

Auto or manual?

It is manual, and I didn't try it in competition or traction off actually. That may be it! I'll try it and see. I didn't even think of that

You’re not hitting the rev limiter are you?

That would do it.

No, I've done that once already and knew what that was. It actually happens about mid range and then just goes without issue

really appreciate your response, I've only been driving it for about a week so still learning a few things. It's never happened in a straight line which is why it makes so much sense what you're saying
