So, nobody else experienced this? Odd

Why odd? You said it only happened to you once and that was two years ago so not exactly a chronic problem. There are 1,000 things that could have blipped once and caused it. Cars are complex and just one little thing wrong can shut it down.
Don't even know what made you mention it 2 years after the fact in the first place.

Odd that it only happened to me I guess. I brought it up because I wanted to share to the community what happened, and wanted to know if it happened to anybody else.

Considering you don't know if you have an engine mod or not, I don't find it odd.

Engine stalls like this usually are from a vacuum leak. I'd suspect a poor intake install.

Thanks. I believe there were multiple people having issues with the intake as well

I've had this happen a couple times, but always managed to just start up again.
I also have an Injen short ram intake, so that seems to be the common thread.

Doesn't happen often in normal driving (I'd say it occurs on about 1% of my drives, and only on hot days) but it did occur a few times after my last track day, so it does appear related to heat.

If it's injen then yes there were a lot of people having issues with it. (including my brother)

Never experienced but had issue first few days where the a/c would kick in, i'd be slowing down pressing break and rpms would crawl so low if i let go of the clutch further, it'd prob turn off or if I was on a uphill angle.

Check ur MAF, before I have TRD intake and go to track, when I spinning out, the MAF is broken, dealer said too much air in

Hmm... That is troubling because I did spin out at my last track day....

Wow, kids these days.

This is what happened, your battery died. Hot temps in traffic will drain the shit out if batteries. Given that your battery was fairy new it had just enough juice to start. After it cooled down over night, staring up in the cooler morning the alternator did it's job and charged it.

It may be 90*outside but it's well over 130* inside your hood. Heat does weird shit to everything.

A battery will cause a car that is running already to shut down?
Interesting.
