Default something is wrong need help.

Ok when i go WOT and i do burn outs aka lose traction. My car nearly dies on me all the electronics turn off and i literally have to come to a complete stop and make sure i don't have to turn my car on again.

Any thoughts as to what is causing this? Your comments and or questions about it will be greatly appreciated and ill answer the questions to the best of my ability so everyone can understand it. Thank you.

Dude there is really no way to tell what's going on with out a log. There could be multiple things wrong. Any codes popping up? What are your mods? For what is worth, I have never heard of this, need to get a scanner on it

"all the electronics turn off"....Pretty good hint that the elec system has lost power.
Battery fastened down?
Cables clean, tight, and away from obstructions?
Battery may have a loose cell in it, and it's being shorted internally, when you knock it around.

I replaced the battery and alternator a few weeks ago both are brand new

Could it be power surging? Because it kinda reminds me of when the power goes out in my house if that helps at all.

Check the grounds! How was the car damaged? Got pics? Only reason I ask is if the had to disconnect anything to fix your car, it probably isn't real tight

It was put into the ditch lol sad but true. The oil filter broke, driver side side skirt broke still need one, and the front left bumper needs repainting. Thats it. Ill take new pics once i get a chance got a new phone so lost my old pics. Good questions guys and doing my best to answer them.

I went to drive it last night and well after she started she was idling at 2k rpms then after about 10 minutes she went down to under 1k i assume thats bc it is very cold and hasn't been cranked in a few weeks. Also i noticed she had a flat tire so now i gotta fix that as well ugh it never ends good thing she is paid for and i have big plans for her

also check your alternator wiring, grounds as mentioned and make sure no hot wires are directly grounding.
