I was out in the countryside enjoying the sporting capabilities of the Type R. After utilizing it's performance quite sucessfully on some distant backroads, I went to pass a group of motorhomes, trucks towing boats etc. As I was blowing past the group, I believe in as I was accelerating in 3rd gear, there was an instant where the acceleration just stopped, like I had hit a wall. I then shifted up to 4th gear and continued accelerating. While I was driving quite fast, I was not redlining things. A few minutes later when I came to another road, and turned onto it, I tested accelerating rapidly again. This time, there was not a definite stopping of the acceleration but at two points, there was a slight hesitation and I noted that a yellow light instantly blipped on and off in the oil temperature gauge window. After that, the car ran fine the rest of the way home, though I was not again in a position to test hard acceleration again.
What happened? I've had the car for nearly a year now, and never experienced this before.
