Driving home my del sol brake went stiff and my accelerator pedal went soft and low, but clutch maintained it's pressure like normal.
Had to pull over to the gas station because my car wouldn't push itself and was decelerating.
Turned the car off and the car started smelling like burnt brake fluid.
Start the car back up and brake was still stiff and accelerator pedal was still soft, car barely wanted to push.
Turned the car back off and decided to let it sit for a while and force it home after because I was a mile away from my house and didn't want to get it towed.
Start the car back up, it was the same, but forced it home, it didn't want to go more than 40 miles and car wanted to decelerate no matter how hard I pushed the accelerator.
Pulled to the side, turned it off once more and waited. Started it up again and drove it home it home and it ran like normal and fine. I was so confused.
Decided to check my brake and clutch master cylinder reservoir, the brake reservoir was fine, but the clutch master cylinder reservoir was very low.
Drove it to my friend's house to get it checked out and it ran fine as well.
I don't know what's wrong, but I've decided i'll replace my clutch master/slave cylinder as well so it won't surprise me again.
On other forums, I was told it might be the clutch, but clutch makes no sound and the pedal was fine throughout everything.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure, but when ever you get the chance check your clutch line, and all external parts leading to the slave cylinder.
I'd check my clutch as well. Seeing as your car wanted to decelerate. The must have been some type of friction. Or restriction.
