It sounds like your "Traction Control" is acting up. If your tires break loose even for a fraction of a second, the computer shuts ya down. But usually ony for a moment, then it should let you continue on normally. It can be very disturbing, and down right dangerous if you should happen to pull out in front of traffic (thinking you have enough time to do so safely thanks to your cars performance capabilities) only to find that because you spun your tires the computer thinks it's protecting you by stealing power.
Turn your traction control switch off, so that the "fish tailing" car on your gauges is lit up. This doesn't shut the TC down completely, but may give you a little more personal control over how your car reacts to sudden changes in terrain, and its traction.
I disconnected my traction control:

But I haven't driven my car hard enough to see if it really makes any difference. There is still something that's called a "Yaw sensor" under the consol that needs to be disconnected to totally disable the computer from interfering.
