05 SS Engine stalling on take off

I was playing around with my car yesterday and the engine was stalling as I was taken off from the line. I had the rpm high enough for a quick take off and release my clutch and drop my gas pedal to the floor but the engine sort of stall on me. I did it couple of times and I was wondering if anyone had experience this. The car has an excellent response on the high end and during the slalom.

I have a feeling it's your ESP activating due to wheel spin. Try turning off your ESP and try again
