just feels like traction to me. surge of gas, once the tires break free the throttle blurps off. then surge of gas again, once the tires break free the throttle blurps off again.. over and over again.

Small nuts?
This car has .4 of a liter less displacement and you say small nuts?
Well anyway, the trasaxle has a mode that stops it from ripping itself apart. You engaged that system by trying to do a burnout and placing a large load (power wise) on the transaxle.
I don't do burnouts that much (tires cost too much $) but hold the brake in (car in N) Rev it up, (put in D) and floor it.

You don't wont to put it in drive with rpms being higher than fast idle or you will be breaking something and the TM will still kick in.You just need a tuner to fix it.The TC applies the breaks to the drive wheels lightly to help,The TM cuts engine power.And I never understood with the way TM works by cutting power and then throwing it all back? That I think would risk breaking something.It should just cut power to 50% then ease back in.

Ive heard there is another thing called differential score protection that is able to do the same thing. My Impala shuts down with the traction control off when you try to nail it around a corner.
