Just to elaborate, there was no traction loss and the clutch was fully disengaged. The car just kind of fell on its *** for a few seconds, then surged forward.
It was without a doubt an engine management issue. The management and engine (other than intake/exhaust) is stock. I agree that some sort of torque management is to blame.
It's a lot like what other people have described here.
Definitely an eye-opener.

You'd be surprised how subtly intrusive VDC can be. "Torque Management" is exactly what it's doing. It's a nice safety feature for the careless random driver who bought a Z for looks, but the way it operates it has no business being engaged on a sportscar being driven properly. I sometimes leave mine on for everyday driving in rainy conditions on unknown roads, where perhaps I can't predict every puddle I might slip on. But, IMHO, it's hard to accept any complaint about the throttle/engine/etc with VDC engaged, especially for remote diagnosis over the intarwebs. Step one is turn that button off and reproduce your scenario.
