I have a 2000 z28, manual. Whenever i floor it, between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm's, i completely lose power. it only happens sometimes but when it does i can feel the car slowing down. what the heck is wrong with my baby. ---thanks

 

Did you buy it used? If so, it's possible the previous owner installed a chip and set the rev-limiter to somewhere b/t 5000-6000rpms. Before I reset my programmer, my '01 did similar and it surprised me/freaked me out. I thought I wasted the motor...

Just a thought

Turn your traction control off.

 

it happens when the t/c is off and i did buy it used but its not like it stops accelerating all together it still does just very very little. thanks guys

 

My 2000 Z28 did the same thing. It turned out to be weak valve springs.
