OK... serious post here...

My 01 SS had a similar random issue... If i would go full throttle, sometimes the pedal would stay on the floor and the car would keep going wide open. It happened a handful of times yet no one ever believed me and thought I was just messing around. One day my friend was driving it and happened to him too. When it did occur, I'd just keep kicking the gas pedal and within 2-3 seconds it would go back to normal. It scared me and I started seeing what variables were consistent when it would happen. I finally realized that if cruise was not in the full off position is the only times it would happen. Even though cruise was not engaged, it would only happen if cruise control was technically on "standby". Make sure the switch is in the full off position and see if it still happens. That ended my issues. Now if it still happens, I don't know what to tell you.
