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...
"IF" to even limit AFM in future Camaros can only be done by "turning off the nannies"/ a "competitive" mode...lol...could spell disaster for a lot of drivers who just want to get away from AFM...(poor Fbodfather will really get stressed out)...lol...

Hopefully it's something less "radical" in Camaros than going "track-mode"...
