Car started doing weird stuff today.

Was driving to work this morning, turned a corner from a stop after getting off the exit ramp. Started out in first, the front driver wheel started to jump, through late 1st gear, and into second, I let off the gas, it then started again the second go, then I let off and it stoped, sence then I feel a slight vibration in my gas peddle and clutch, and the car seems like it is having power problems, 1st second and third seem like less power, 4th is ok going to 5th when u shift and it's telling you to, around 2000rpm to 2500 into 5th it bogs down some untill you head towards 60mph and u feel a slight "wobble" type feel, then it kinda goes away the faster you go, I am showing no engine lights or anything.
When I got home I checked the oil, you can smell some gas in the oil, also the clutch feel different then it did before, the only mod I have on it is a gmpp cai, At one point I had a tube running from that to the front bumper, which made me run hotter at idle then I used to, I took it off yesterday, but I am still running just as hot, setting at a stop light I get up to 210 and I turn on the ac to get it back down.

Any ideas?

If you think it was the inside front wheel hopping when going around the corner I would say you have a differential problem ,Its acting like it has posi-traction.

Get it back to the dealer before something really gets damaged.

Thanx for the help everyone, to give u the end result, yesterday night I unplugged the battery for a little while, today the car seemed to run fine, I took it to the dealer, they hooked it up, and it didn't throw any codes at all, I told him all of the issues I was having, he said the engine rev and tire jump seemed like it was caused from a computer brain fart, and me unplugging the battery and letting it relearn fixed the issue.
They drove it around for awhile and said that the running temp of 210 was fine, and that they couldn't see any problems with the vehicle.

I also talked to them about tires or wheels, they told me that I could put whatever on it, that gm wouldnt void the warentee over it, there is only one vehicle which is a diseal that if u change the tires they won't touch it.
He also told me if i do change let him know the info and bring the car down and he will flash it with the change.
They seemed really kewl, I was asking them about preformance parts, and they said, Do whatcha want, But if it does in fact cause the issue and we can trace it back to that doing it, then we simply cant fix that part under warentee, but other then that, no big deal anything else would be covered.
they also quited me about $75 to swap out an exhaust, even if it wasnt gmpp, and I went with like a megan, he told me if they run into issue like a snapped bolt it may cost a little more. But all and all they seem like good guys. So I'm happy my car is acting fine, and I got some good info
