okay.. heres the situation..

car SOMETIMES runs fine and is just slow from 0-20mph, it feels sluggish between there but from 20mph on it runs like a dream..

SOMETIMES ill be driving and all of a sudden it feels like i put it in Neutral and it just revs like crazy when i hit the gas and i get NOOO power to the wheels and just coast.. and usually when i come to a stop my car just revs and gets no power till i turn the car off and on. and it MIGHT get power all of a sudden but sometimes it stops and just coasts and wont let me get any power unless i stay under a certain mph.. like 20 or 40 is usually the case.. and thats scary as s*** when you gotta pass a couple of railroad tracks and busy streets on the way to work.. hopin your car doesnt stall out on either.

i dont wanna say anything to my pops just cause i know he wont help me out if i tell him and i kinda enjoy the perks of having a master mechanic teaching me how to fix my car problems .. but i raced a civic down the freeway and maxed out goin 140mph for a cool 5 sec or so.. i was going from a 120 start and he caught up and it was on and topped out goin 140mph and honestly that problem NEVER happened before that race sooo could that be a factor?? did i push my car beyond its limits??

Could have messed up the clutches in the transmission.when your running between 20 and 40 what is your rpms sitting out there. Check trans fluid and also check the trans cooler lines if the fluid gets too hot it can also cause that
