Default Crossfire Drag/decelleration while foot is off the accelerator?

Just recently bought my 2006 Crossfire limited, I noticed that there is what seems to be a great deal of decelleration while the accelerator is not being pushed. I check all four tires to see if maybe the brakes were grabbing and they all seemed pretty loose while freely spinning. Does anyone know what this could be cause i will be going 60 MPH and let off the accelerator and the car will slow down drastically, about 10 MPH every 3 seconds or so. Is this normal with our cars? HELP

Do you have a stick or an automatic?

If your car is a automatic check the winter/ summer mode switch and make sure it's in the S mode.

Its in the summer mode, and It is an automatic, it seems to dellerate more faster/quickly when its below 50MPH, really wierd, never felt anything like it before in a car. Used to the car slowly delerating and coasting for a little bit. This does not do it at all
