Got to a point where I just kept mashing my pedal out of frustration.

I don't know if it's due to the weather(101F according to temp gauge) but I have driven in similar temperature without encountering this problem. In addition, my oil temp was only at 240F and I was able to hit 6k+ RPM so I know for a fact my car is not in limp mode. Last but not least, I have not done any mods or changes to my car so what the hell is going on.

Hopefully this problem doesn't persist til tomorrow.
Could be crap gas too and the ECU is compensating (for that) as well as high intake temps.

Yeah... crap gas in vq engines will cause crappy performance.
Even in vq35. Also really hot weather will hinder performance.
