could flooding cause my rx8 to lose compression?

so i went on a motorcycle ride yesterday and my parents decided to have a party and my mom moved my rx8 up in the driveway further and flooded it. could this cause my car to lose compression. i drove a legacy last night since i couldnt get it to start so it feels like its pulling but once i get to like 90 its pull isn't very good. could just be because my ninja cracks to 130 like its nothing but i have no idea. any suggestions?

More likely a fouled spark plug. Take 'em out and check.

Low compression motors don't lose top-end they just won't idle. At speed there's no difference.
