Unhappy

Yesterday I was cruising with my wife. Taking it real easy. We got to a train crossing the road was wet. The bells of the train cross were going off. I decided I did not want to wait, so I looked both ways. No train coming so I gunned it. The car when it when over the tracks lost traction, and when it caught the asphalt it hooked and stalled. Now it's the first time it's ever done that. But I REALLY DON'T like that. I had to put it in neutral and restart the motor. I don't understand why it would do that. I wonder if it has anything to do with the trac/update. I'm supposed to get the upgrade tomorrow morning.

Some people might speculate and blame it on an intake kit (i.e..SRT, Injen, Weapon-R) but it's not the case. I'm using the K&N drop in filter. (Pipe is on the way). And exhaust is not, even though I run a catback.

Has this happened to anyone??

This makes me feel unsafe, I like to know my car will respond when I demand.
