Car shutters when I romp on it. Any ideas??

Hey,

I'm new and I have a quick question. My '03 caobra runs great, but if I wanna rip around someone or stomp on it, sometimes the car shutters. Is this the belt slipping on the supercharger pully, or something else? The car runs great otherwise, and the engine doesn't shutter otherwise. That's why I ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else have this problem??

Whan was the last tuneup, could be the fuel filter, hard to say without looking at it.
Also check the plugs.

Shouldn't be belt slippage since you're running a stock pulley unless you armoralled it or something. I would look primarily at the plugs but the fuel filter is a good bet as well.

would the plugs be a possibility even though the car runs strong and smooth with most driving except for when I stomp on it?

When you stomp it, your blower is forcing higher volumes of fuel and air past the plugs. If they are fouled, your spark may be getting blown out.
