Has this happened to you?

While heading up the on-ramp of the fwy, I floored it....WOT! I took the first fairly sharp turn leading left going about 30-40mph, 2nd gear & 4000+rpm, still under WOT, but I noticed that mid-way into the turn, the usual rumble I hear from my CAI quit and become silent despite my foot to the metal. As I came out of the turn, the rumble came back. I thought to myself, "That hasn't happened before." Then about 30 yards later, the last turn came up going toward the right. I'm still pedal to the metal, WOT, now about 50mph, 3rd gear & 4000+rpm, then it happens again. The rumble of the CAI became silent at the mid-point of the turn, but came back when I came out of the turn. I did notice when the CAI rumble became silent, the pulling sensation of the car stopped. VSA was engaged, but wasn't blinking on me, and I never felt I was not in control of the car.
Wondering if anyone has experienced loss of throttle response while taking a corner under WOT?

VSA activating, ECU cuts off throttle (even though you're WOT) which explains the silence from the engine/CAI?

VSA light can blink quickly and you may have not seen it. IMO, its just VSA.
