Default Car lost power for a split second in second gear after a 7.5k shift from first to second.........

Friend outside the car said he thought he heard a pop or backfire. I turned the ESP off and tried it again with no problems. Any clue as to whether the ESP could cause a loss in power?

In what situations do you want ESP in certain settings?

Default The motor can rev more quickly than the tach can track with the clutch...

disengaged. I wonder if it could have hit the rev limiter?

I think you were about to chirp your tires. Was the ESP button pushed yo at least "stage one"?

Default It was your ESP

If it detects even the slightest hint of slip, the car will feel like it "shut down" for a split second.

Personally, I turn on the S button and turn off the ESP every single time I get in the car, but then again, I've got a fair amount of racing experience under my belt.

Are you turning it totally off?

This sounds more likely if the ESP was fully on.

Agreed. This will happen everytime you try to launch the car w/o the first stage of ESP turned off.
