Haha, yea I made this thread then ran out to grab some food. On my way back, i floored it on a back road (straight and absolutely no cars) and it really feels slower. I'll check my air filter tomorrow but I only have 4500 miles on the car.

I thought my car was slow once too, but then I realized I'd just stepped out of a Ferrarri and back into my S....

Maybe the air is more humid where you are right now, so the car isn't performing as well. Also, when was the last time you bought gas? maybe you got a bad tankful.
