Car is acting weird..... Start up in the morning and runs fine. 10 miles down the road still running fine until I go to accel hard to get onto the interstate then it just stops accel at around 4k rpms and starts to miss.... so i pushed in the clutch and shut it off (rolling) and waited a couple seconds and fired it back up and all power is restored. runs fine till I exit and go to merge into traffic then again with the powerloss. Check engine light does not come on. ANY ideas?

I think I found my problem. Just had a weird feeling to check this cause i had it happen on old gtz beretta. got home tonight popped the hood and fired it up and under the hood reving it up i could see the spark plug wires arching to the engine. so now i guess its time to try and find the grounding issue or replace some plug wires and I know thats not any fun from previous SHO. Anybody have an idea on ground issue cause i cant find one.

Is there water in the Plug wells?

I had this same issue with my SHO. There was a ton of water in the wells on the rear bank. That might not be your issue but it's worth checking in to.
