It sounds as though this new AFM is something quite special in terms of effectiveness...I can only imagine that means, partially, it's working more often...so that could be bad in a spirited-driving situation. Wouldn't surprise me one bit that engineers made a point to offer a choice, so Corvette wouldn't get bad press from enthusiasts...

Still looking for where I saw that...
If the AFM was configured to only kick in when it sensed (among other things) a steady speed for 3-4 min, then I doubt like heck you would ever encounter it at a track.
