Default WOT lag?

Well, here's the problem in a very basic sense:

I was driving home from work tonight, got on a straight and decided to open it up a bit rolling at about 10-15 mph (open up a bit = WOT). Well, when I mashed the pedal, it took about a good 4-5 seconds for anything to actually happen. Typically the car reacts almost instantly in these kinds of situations... but it's been a while since I hit it from a roll like that. Given the car has 150k+ miles on the original drivetrain, could it possibly be something with the transmission, or motor, or just the car showing its age?

Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions/help.

Standard tranny, or standard as in stock clutch? If the latter, then that'd be assuming it's a M6. If the former, well it's possible since it has 150K and the clutch COULD be warn out. Either way, it works.

Did it slowly accel in that 4-5 seconds or did it really just do nothing?
