Leaving it in top gear? Probably because the spark plugs get slightly fuel fouled after a hard run like that going to a long decel period, when you try to accelerate again, the plugs have to be re-heated to thier self-cleaning temperature to have a clean face for a powerful spark again. I don't know specifically for your engine, but that is my initial educated guess.

I've did it on mine and have had no problem out of it. The car rides smooth as a baby's ass, almost like it's floating.
