Well, you can do it in a more or less stock car as I proved, but you need considerably less fuel in the tank. Disappointing but not unexpected, it is a common problem in modern pressurized fuel systems.

on street tires, it takes 3-4 seconds with full - 4/5 "dots" to get 'studder'

on race tires, I would imagine the same conditions could starve the motor to the point of stall

still, how many turns do you know of on the street that require driving at 1.0g for 3-4 seconds ??? this falls into the category of so many other things on this car that are not 'race ready'... it is what it is... part of the reason we pay $34K not $70K

Well, no street corner requires 1.0g, but there are lots of corners that are a heck of a lot more fun at 1.0g! If they didn't want us pulling 1.0g corners they should have put the base wheels on all around.
