Default Braking System

Okay, so I have a question. I was going to have some fun in my 2008 350z Touring Coupe. I went to a parking lot, turned traction control off, whipped it, and gassed it to drift. I drifted, then the noob I am lost control, I did a 360 and then my engine basically shut down. It wouldn't let me gas, brake, turn the car off, turn the steering wheel, or anything. Can anybody tell me what this is and how to turn it off if possible? Thanks.

Yea, after about a minute or so it let me restart and it was fine. Kind of the same incident happened two days ago, except I did it around a turn and the car spun and did a 180 into on going traffic, but it didn't shut down. I just had to drive off kinda fast lol, no cops haha.

Quite a few new "Dugans" around lately. An early Thanksgiving is surely coming this year.

Yea because I did a one eighty in a four lane road. I doubt a cops just going to believe what really happened and be like "okay, drive safe, have a great day." Stop being a pest, I'm simply asking why my car shut off.

The Touring option includes a "douchebag protection" mode in the ECU.
