With the V6, who wants to be driving around a 3-cylinder car? Just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of AFM, at all. Who buys a sports car for good MPG?

Who buys a V6 sports car when they can buy a V8? The people who can't afford V8 gas mileage. So AFM is more at home on the V6 than anywhere else because a vast majority of people will be buying them because they can't afford the SS.
And AFM drops it from 6 to 4 cylinders. Not sure where the reviewer got 3 from. Also read the C7 forums about AFM. You will notice many of the problems in the L99 have been addressed in the LT1, including drone.
