When I take a corner or loop the accelerator goes all the way down to the floor without the engine revving or accelerating. Once the car is straighten out the accelerator is back to normal. Please help explain what the problem maybe. Thanks!

Its sounds like you have a throttle sensor that can be out. Does it have a check engine light on? The first thing we should do is pull the codes, Here is a guide that will help you get the job done.
