Default Missfire on Cyl #6 at WOT only

so this happens at really hard acceleration when the revs go to the max at different speeds

the code sets as P0306 missfire on cylinder #6, i reset the code, i can replicate these conditions at will, but at normal driving ( when not going nuts on her ) this never happens

all the maintenance is done, new plugs and all, 4 of 6 coils have been replaced EXCEPT #5, and #6

could this be a coil slowly going bad or a bad injector ?

i usually drive normally and try to conserve gas and not beat on her, but when i really need to get out of a jam and floor it this happens, its kinda annoying, she runs fine and quiet with perfectly steady rpms at idle...gas mileage is normal for this car and very consistent for the year and a half that i owned here

any thoughts ?

I would say the coil is going out.

Swap coils #2 and #6, if the misfire code moves to cyl #2, then you have your answer

Consider this though, if it starts to misfire regularly under normal use, aside from the nasty-*** vibrations you can possibly wipe out a cat and O2 sensors from the unburnt fuel.....Now thats going to be some work.
