Default please help me with sc400 slow on take off

can anyone tell me what is wrong with my car?
i recently have my timing belt done, i change my spark plugs and wires, never had a major tune up yet,
here is the problem, i have a sc400 but it run like if it is a 200, is really slow on take off. I have to step on the gas harder to take off. My cousin have a sc400 and when i just gently step on the gas pedal it just take off, and no my e-brake is not up. My car feel heavy but it ride smooth, but it not what i expect from a sc400. Have anyone drove s500 mecedes benz that how my cousin sc400 feel like when i tap my foot on the gas pedal and mines feel like a damn honda civic. Help me please!
