Weirdest Thing Happened...

That is weird... Since it happened when you were turning, and on a hill, I'm going to go with your revs being too low. I know you said you have no problems driving a manual car, but that seems like the most likely culprit. The Z needs a bit more revs than most cars to get going, and turning while starting requires extra revs. So does starting on a hill.

I've been driving manual cars for almost 15 yrs, from stock 80s Hondas to Ford Model As and Ts, 18 speed Freightliners and Kenworths, to race cars of various forms. I stall once in a while. I stalled my moms stock Hyundai Tiburon a couple summers ago, and had a "wtf just happened?" moment. The car didn't even buck or jerk. Just shook a little bit for a second and shut off. They've got a clutch damper valve that prevents any shaking/bucking/jerking.
