So I'm taking a right turn into sorta an uphill road, got a 525 so its not the most powerful car but when I try to gas it a little harder, there is sort of a LAG until there is "that sound" then my car catches up, I might not make sense and sound a little crazy but honestly, I have no idea what that sound is and if that lag/sound is bad for my car...maybe I shouldn't be stepping on the gas at all and drive like a new driver...help!
Another approach: next time you approach this turn, put the tranny in M/S and manually downshift BEFORE you get to this turn. Get the revs up, then make the turn and accel up the hill in the lower gear. See if this makes any difference. I bet it will. The owner's manual recommends driving in M/S mode (higher shift points) in hilly terrain anyway.
I once talked to a guy with a M-B E55 AMG car, and he told me he has never had the throttle flat to the floor. My god, what is the point of having a car like this without ever letting the engine sing...

haha people from canada are too friendly
and my word isnt law here either im just giving an opinion - try a transmission reset if its an automatic or smg, also yeah traction control could be the culprit but that blinks a little light on your dash when it kicks in. honestly though it sounds like you just need to ease into the gas and find out how much the car will take at what moments. not to say dont ever floor it, but like, take a half second getting to the floor
