...Like it or not, it seems AFM is here to stay...and if it is, and can be capable of significantly better mileage, it might help keep around the availablility of V-8's that don't have AFM... |

example: dod off (always V8) dod on (just like L99 cars, the ability to go into 4 cylinder mode) |

This^^ plus its not about wanting a 4cyl camaro. I never want that as an option. Its about being able to have the option and ensuring that we can always have a V8 in our cars 10 years from now with crap like CAFE inhibiting our enthusiast crowd. The better the gas mileage a V8 camaro can get, means the more V8's they can sell across the fleet which keeps that rumble in my car! |

....If it has AFM on all models, but we have the ability to drive without it, as an "option" of our choice, then that also is a good up-grade... ....If AFM adds better mileage to the V-8s, manual or auto...another good "option" if you "choose" to drive in that mode.... |

Perhaps the 5.0-5.7 engine (LT-4??) may fill that void and satisfy more aftermarket applications...A second V-8 engine option of any kind would be totally awesome, imo... |
The fact that GM introduced the Gen V LT1 at 6.2L would likely mean they won't be offering a lower displacement performance V8’s, this generation.
There wouldn't be a business case to develop a smaller displacement performance V8 purely to circumvent their AFM/DOD technology. Lots of speculation as to what the higher performance variations of the LT1 will be but it's not likely to be any less displacement than the 6.2L. GM is in the business of building cars and trucks for profit. Not in the business of supplying street cars with engines capable of big aftermarket HP. Despite what we enthusiasts want. |
I agreee but disagree also. If they produce a car that takes kindly to after market enhancing, one might be more apt to purchase it over another less modifyable car.
