Question Odd...

Well, I haven't posted here with a problem in a looooong time!! Very long time!(Lucky me) But it was bound to happen! I'll try to explain.

I was driving to Staples today to get some cd-r's and all was fine, the car was running great, even got into it a little with another Stang, it was running normally, all was well.
I went into Staples, I was in there for about 20 mins, having my ear talked off from the guy behind the register about how nice my car was, and that the red Trans-Am I parked next to was his, and what he's doing, what I've done so far, blah, blah, blah... Finally he rings me up and I'm on my merry way.
I get in, start it up, back out of the space, go to pull around the corner by the front of the store, and go to nail it a little(show off), and as soon as I hit it, it bogs down real bad seeming like it stalled. As soon as I let off the gas it idled fine, and as long as I didn't give it more than 25% throttle, it wouldn't bog, ran normal. I pulled over and opened the hood while it was running. (far away from staples, might I add ) I give it full throttle under the hood, and it revved flawlessly, so I get back in thinking it was a freak occurrance, and as soon as I start to drive, I hit it again and it does it again.
The fuel pressure was fine, the volts were fine, the temp was fine, and vaccuum was fine. It did smell a little rich, I believe, when it happened. I don't have my ScanTool with me so I never hooked it up to the computer, I'll get it tomorrow...
Any thoughts, guesses??
