The hardware is already there, but more challenging to tune on the manual. IF enabling/optimizing AFM helped improve fuel economy significantly, I think they would have done it. It's possible they will enable it in a later model to help improve FE.

Also, the Camaro is quite a bit heavier than the Corvette, so not sure the ultra deep 0.42:1 7th ratio would work well. The 0.5:1 6th gear is already a huge overdrive.
