Default S feels sluggish

my car feels different everyday, depends on the weather, how cold the air is, what elevation your at, tire pressure, there is a bunch of variables.
I drove east yesterday where it was 100 degress and i thought something was seriously wrong with my car but it was just the heat

i think it's like that for most cars...my s14 feels the same it's slow all around but sometimes it feels quicker than other times. maybe my driving skills varies too...sometimes i can shift better than other times.
