Can someone please explain the downside to AFM and why everyone is excited that it will not be offered in the 6-speed? I see cylinder deactivation and increased gas mileage as a good thing. What am I missing?
I think their is a stigma that goes with AFM from the l99, You couldn't change your exhaust with out it sounding like crap once AFM kicked in, and that you could feel it when the engine went it to 4cyl mode. Owning a l99 and after tuning out AFM I was very pleased I did. But, the AFM in the lt1 from what I've heard from the a8 vette guys is not noticeable at all and much more advanced then that in the l99.
