I went on vacation yesterday.. and noticed dat when i accelerate the car shudders a few seconds... then accelerates..It continued to do dat off and on yesterday and today. Does anyone have any ideas wat it could be. I just HOPE its not the Tranny...

maybe it's the COP's?

i had the exact same problem with my 03 v8, i took it to the dealer several times and they kept "re programming" my trans. it did nothing and came back within a few km's. anyways, i got sick of it and refused to settle with the re programming and got them to replace the whole trans solenoid, shifts fine now and feels smooth for the first time i've owned it. You may also have problem going up hills randomly, it feels like it doesn't know what gear to select and will shift erratically.

The coils have all been replaced a few years back... I hope it's not them again...

if they have been replaced recently then maybe it's what tbaylinc suggested. i hope you have warranty tho, if not then maybe cop's wouldn't be a bad problem to have in that scenario. did you change the VCG when you did the cop's?
