It only does it in 3rd gear, it pulls hard past 6K in the rest of the gears?

1st and 2nd was good till 3rd and it seemed to lose power around 5k on 3rd gear, after that i didnt push it anymore, tires are shot and ground was wet.

Doesn't this answer your question? Shot tires + wet = wheel spin

I think it is important to find out if it does it in 4th and 5th also.

Could be break up - tune up time (cap, wires and plugs) or else a grounding issue...

could be wheel spin, i was driving it home from the dealer, never really drove a car like this b4, i definitely need a tune up. and new tires.
