If you took it to a dealer, it's possible they reset the computer which would kill any tune the previous owner did... Either that, or it's in your head..

Hats off to GM Advertising personnel who convinced you even before you ever drove one that it was the "fastest thing around". They set you up and why? In order to fuel GMPP folks?

I am sorry to hear there is no cure. This is not good news, amigo. It is an addiction that will wring out your pocketbook and leave you eating one meal a day at the local derelicts Mission. Awful...the only good news is you have lots of company.

Yes, it can be treated, but the treatment is very expensive and it never ends.
