I just checked and traction control was not available on the base v6 models, but was standard on the premium v6 models. There should be a button below the radio that says "Trac" or something. Make sure it is off. I know I already said that, but, what you are describing sounds just like the factory traction control. When you try to spin the wheels, it cuts power to the engine and it feels like it is going to die. It stumbles and chugs like its severely misfiring. If it does not do this during normal acceleration, that is because your tires are not breaking loose. I forgot to turn mine off at the track once when I was attempting to do my burnout. Talk about embarassing.
