Have your Coils checked... several (myself included) have had burnt coils which causes a massive loss of power.

Could just be heat. It's hot as hell in MN and I'm assuming IL is the same.

Def can be the heat. I drove my car last week on a colder mild 75 degree day and it felt strong. Today it was 90 and humid, and car definitely wasn't moving as swiftly. Also, you do get used to it, so you may be imagining it.
