Default HELP!!!

Hey guys,
I pulled a hard brake tonight because some dumb @$$ decided that the stop sign didnt apply to him and now acceleration at low RPMs gives me kind of a jerky feel. PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS, MY BABY CANT BE HURTING.

It starts feeling like its missing or something mainly between 1-2k RPMs when I push the gas. I wouldnt think braking would cause any problems but it never did it before so I know its because of what happened. Does anyone have any advice?

It is most noticable between 1000 to 2000 RPMs. As long as I'm at a steady speed everything feels fine, but when I press the gas at that RPM range you can feel the car lurch and begin to seem like its missing but as soon as I surpass 2000 it feels fine again.

" tire-sqeeling HARD brake"
I think you cause flat spot on one or more of you tires, rub your hand around each tire or jack the car up and roll each tire and you may see a flat spot
