mush on acceleration from light

I live in south Lousisana - so hot an humid. Like 93 F and 80% hummidity (thats about normal for this time of year and will only get worse)

When I take off from a stop light with a quick blip of the throttle and let out the clutch (around 1.5k - 2k) my cars acceleration feels like mush like if it was much slower it might stall. I don't know if Im explainting this right or not. It reminds me of when my old carburated cars when I got the setup wrong and it ran pig rich and had to fight through the lower rpm until the rpm climbed up high enough to get going.

Once the car get up and going its fine, and if let the clutch out around 3k it takes off pretty good (though it bogs somtimes)

Its like the drive by wire thottle doesn't react quickly below 2k.

Does this seem on par with anybody else?

I had the same problem last year. There was absolutely no acceleration beforearound 3.5k rpm, even if I floored it. Check your coils or have your dealer check them for you. Also search a few "burnt coils" threads and see if that's what you're experiencing. Good luck.
