does you car have power steering? does it make any noises?
also it could be your fuel pump or fuel pickup. see if a full tank of gas causes the same problems

check your tranny fluid. since it revved high, that sounds like the torque converter may have been slipping. Hopefully it was just a little low on fluid and not going out.

think about it, if the fluid is low and it's sloshing around to one side when turning sharp corners, fluid isn't where it needs to be. Always start by checking the simple things, hopefully it's as simple as adding tranny fluid.

If you aren't sure of what happened, top off your trans fluid(try to smell the old stuff), find an empty parking lot and try to recreate it.
