car lost all of its zip, whats up?

my car seems to have lost all the zip and pick up it once had. what could cause this? i triedadvancing the timing a littlle bit, but no help. could the tranny cause this if it needs new fluid and filter? it used to kick the tires well enough to humble many mustang owners and do kick *** burnouts, but now nothing. a little chirp if im lucky. powerbraking barely gets anything. please help!

I don't know how to check everything, but the easiest thing to do is pull the air cleaner off, start the car, and make sure the injectors are spraying good and their is plenty of fuel
