only cases i heard of were when the cars were stopped and at idle.

i also heard it could be caused by the knock sensor or vibrations disturbing the maf sensor

When you are moving and the car is in gear the car will not stall anyway. You would have to be holding the clutch in or something of that sort. If the car is in gear even if you turn the car off as long as you have some speed the car will continue to run. It is the same principal as a so called "bump start". If your battery goes dead in a car with a manual trasmission then you can just push the car and put it in first gear pop the clutch and the car will start.

exactly - if you stall while moving just pop the clutch - car instantly restarts

yeah i dont think it will happen on the freeway in gear, cause that would mean that your revs are up, maybe if u were in neutral, but then you wouldnt be in gear. i think it only happens when you are stopped and idling. its never happened to me though

I call BS....

Knock Sensor don't work on DB's they work on Hertz, the sensor only pulls timeing if it "hears" a certain Frequancy.

Rather it works on DBs or Hertz, it has been discovered to happen ever since the viii came out in 03. It has been documented here more than a few times. Try a search.

I also don't think it happens on 05s. I've lined up vs many open-header V8s at the drag strip with no issue.

the drag strip leaves a lot of room between cars, where as the street might be a lot closer to each other

Still not nearly as loud as the open header race cars I have lined up next to...ones that are revving up really high and launching on slicks.
