About a month ago I was out in Philly just crusin around, and there was an real tight exit ramp so I said hell with it. Took it faster than I've taken anything so far with this car. I was amazed to say the least these cars are on freakin rails. Anyways about half-way through the turn (which was a right) at about 35 I gunned it into second to have the oil light come on and the car kinda "stall". As if it went from 200hp to about 50 for just a split second. So I let off of course. Then being the tool I am I nailed it again (I was still in the turn) and the thing does it again. MI checked the oil right after it was less than half a quart low, hardly low at all. My question being is this usually the case with the oil starvation problems in these cars? Problems happening in turns like that? And if not any ideas what it might have been. And how damaging could something like that have been. I'm pretty scared to push it too much at this point which I should'nt have to be. I'm kind of puzzled.

Edit- My fault I meant to put this in troubleshooting. I need some sleep.
