Mass airflow sensor, maybe it needs a tune up, Throttle position sensor lots of possibilities. I would start by cleaning the mass airflow sensor first. Then doing a tune up.

From what your describing it sounds like either a fueling or spark issue.
Check your plugs, wires and coil packs. I'll go out on the limb and say that your plugs and wries need to be replaced.
It could be a fueling issue as well, but if it's not the plugs / wires the sure fire way to find out would be to take it in and have it disagnosed.
When you hit the accelerator and it feels really bogged down and has a "broken up" or "jittery" take off is most likely caused because your wires are arcing and they would need to be replaced. Make sure your spark plugs are gapped correctly. If it's been longer than 6 months since you replaced the plugs, change them anyways.
If all that doesnt fix it.... like I said before I'd go get it diagnosed to figure out exactly what it is before you start blindly replacing expensive parts.

i am going to make a couple of assumptions. a) the vehicle has an automatic transmission, and b) the check engine light is not on. sounds like the transmission is stuck in gear, or the torque converter is stuck in rotary flow (this little fluid coupling is capable of increasing power, but not in this state.) personally i would either take it to some one who knows a little more about the different possibilities, it could be engine related or transmission, or even the brakes could be an issue, but from what i understand, that transmission has a poor record.

All previous entries may be the problem a good diagnostic scan would point to those problems. From my own personal experience, it sounds like the engine is "loading-up". The cause would be a partially plugged catalytic converter.

Do a tune up, get the codes checked by a diagnostic, Change the air filter, clean the throttle body. Anything else, ask again :)

do a complete tune up, start with plugs, oil change, air filter, injector cleaner, if its still happening change 02 sensors (kinda expensive so use a diagnostic tool first)

i have had the same problem in a couple of different cars, and it always turns out to be the spark plugs and wires. have you checked those out yet?

all the answers i read are good for you but plugs and wires is the most important then fuel filter and then sensors next.

any type of backfiring?
probably a fuel filter. supposed to be changed every 25,000 miles. $15 if you do it yourself.
