Unhappy Can't floor it?

I had to back up a hill to get out of a parking spot, now for some reason I can't floor my car. It gets plenty of power, untill I try to floor it, then it just kinda stops going any faster. Any ideas what this could be?

I just figured that if he backed up a hill he may have plugged up his tailpipe(s) with mud. That or possibly kinked them over and caused a restriction. You see, there are methods to my madness...
