My first thoughts are broken motor/transmission mounts or ignition problem such as one or more coils having an issue. Would have the obd scanned for codes. Good Luck!

Perhaps a major misfire. Is the check engine light on?

My 2001 Saturn L-300 couldn't pull a hole shot - it gagged and did 0 - 45 in 2.5 minutes. Mass air flow sensor was the problem. Take the coolant cap off and get a new car to put under it.
