My Ride Died

It was a Sat. mourning the wife and I were setting out on another ride. South of town there they were the infamous 90 degree turns 3 of em in a row. These low speed curves were out in the middle of nowhere and were a down right test of driving prowess. After a quick conference with the wife, I decided to hit the curves with everything that SVX had accelerating out of each curve and braking for the next. by the time I made curve 3 the car lost almost all power limped on what seemed like 1 or 2 cyl. and so as I released the gas she died...repeated attemps to restart were unsuccessful. Checked for gas out of fuel filter on the spot had lots of gas. Had to call for tow.........

I realize that had I not hit the curves at 2 Gs the car would still be running, the wife reminds me...every ten minutes...and I prefer not to be reminded how stupid it was. Anyway what could have possibly shut the SVX down? Did I splash the fluids to the point of flooding something is there a sensor from heel or what? Any high speed cornering shut down opinions appreciated.
