a little difficult to tell by the description. are you saying the tranny didn't downshift? If you were only going 5mph you may have already been in 1st. If you are saying the car didn't build any real power/torque then I'd say it sounds normal. From a 5mph roll things wouldn't get really exciting for 3-4 seconds. Gotta wait till it is up around 3-3500 rpm to get really fun.

fuel pump
Of the many things it could be one of them may by your fuel pump or your fuel filter is clogged.
If your picking up normally but get bogged down when you punch it your fuel might not be getting to your engine.
Again, I'm a relative newb but I did just get a serious crash course on fuel systems in the last 4 weeks. If your vette is 97-early 03 you can start by changing out your fuel filter.
