If its not something all of our cars do, I would assume there is a problem with our transmission not shifting fast enough. Maybe the line pressure is too low or something?
My car does this too even with the TC off and it has a Renntech ECU tune. Mine will do it sometimes all the way through 1st gear depending on the type of road I'm on (loosing traction), so my bet is it's the stability control kicking in. I'm currently working on building a little circuit that will disable the stability control with a little remote control key fob. I've yet to recieve all the components to build this little circuit, when I get it done I'll post up what I did.
