Dying Maxima -- NEED HELP QUICK

I need help guys. I have a 2001 GXE auto with just filter. My car is losing power and I don't know how. IF I race from stop light to stop light it feels very sluggish, but the car will do high speeds. I just did 130+mph. I was racing a friend in a 2002 Monte SS, it felt like I was standing still, the car had a bogging sound like a turbo car and it just sling-shot off after I let off the gas and press it again. It like there is no torque in 1st gear. HELP-HELP-HELP.

Could this be tranny or sensor problem?

ps- The check engine light is also on. I have changed the tranny fluid and still experiencing the same problem.

Your Max should still be under warrenty. Why not let the boys at the dealership fix it?
