( ! ) is your TPMS indicating you're below recommended PSI....go put some air in it and see if it still lags.

I'd be surprised if low tire pressure made your car feel like you were towing a boat though. Where do you live ? I know here in TX it was 93* yesterday and my car definately felt down on power in the heat.

Intake filter? Clean it or get a new one, a dirty one can cause throttle lag.

I'm man enough to admit that I've driven off with the emergency brake on. And yes, the car felt "sluggish".
