Might be gas -- didn't notice if you had the L99 or the LS3 --

Suggest you get a fresh tank of gas - and then disconnect battery for about 30 min.

When you restart - she'll hesitate and not want to idle smoothly -- that's because her computer is 're-learning' -

Should be good-as-new within a few miles of 'spirited' driving....

I can't wait to go back to 18s, this really sucks.

It also feels weird be cause it raised my car almost an inch and a half. It feels weird being this tall in my car.
Well now you know first-hand what effect unsprung rotating weight can have on performance. Sucks to be you right now hehe.

What have you done to your engine that you need to slow down the burn that much with 103??

The best way I can describe it is that it feels like I am always driving through 6 inches of water. Acceleration has decreased, handling heels heavy. What could be wrong?
It's probably just onstar using the slow down feature.

Clever thread.
I can't believe you're finding that big of a difference SUX? Then again you've got track data showing the differences once you switched to 18's. Makes me anxious to make a decision on what wheels I want on my car.

Your car raised an inch and a half? I would think the outer diameter would be the same, therefore it wouldn't raise at all. With 18's you have much bigger sidewall than with the 20's.

I don't run giant sidewall tires on my 18s. I was running 25.9" tires on the back and 26.7" tires on the front. My next tires are 27" only because i got a killer deal on them, I wanted to go with some 26.1" tires this time around.

FYI - It's a car, not a person.
There are good responses, and there are lame responses. This is the latter.
