"Usually" being the key word. Currently, AFM is programmed to only activate if a given set of circumstances are true, like speed, load, throttle position...very similar to the logic that makes skip-shift (CAGS) work.

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...
