Im flooring the gas pedal, almost red lining, but my acceleration is way below the normal, and I'm smelling something burning, what do you think is the problem?

Do you have a check engnine light and when was the last tune-up?

Your clutch could be slipping if not Could be one of the following below -check and test:

Oxygen sensors.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.
