Where do you stand?

AFM shouldn't plague all editions of Camaro. I think an AFM equipped "for the masses" base model V8 is a good move but not on the top-of-the-line, brute horsepower, white knuckle Camaro.

 

No valid reason not to have it. I'm not agianst a switch to turn it on/off/auto though.

 

yeah i think their should be a switch so you could turn it on when you need it

 

i really don't see a downside to AFM as it is implemented now.. so i wouldn't have a problem with it being in every engine GM offers, if that were the case

 

Then why doesnt Corvette have AFM?

 

Is Plague a valid word here?????

 

The LS2 wasn't designed with it in mind. They started the AFM stuff in 2004 with the 5.3L right? The next Vette will have it I'm sure. I hope for AFM, since I have never heard a complaint and the gas mileage will be helpful.

 

Wow, this really is a big deal for some people, eh?

 

I think that all of the people who are against it have probably not driven an AFM-equipped car.

 

Only for people that buy gas.

 

It doesn't need it. The Vette already gets 28 mpg on the highway.

 

Doesn't need it? How marketable would a 'vette be with 30mpg? Granted, a LOT of people who buy the car wouldn't care, but it builds credibility with the people who TALK to the person who bought the car. People can't believe I average 22mpg (city/highway mix) in my '99 T/A WS6 - they think I'm lying through my teeth - those same people won't believe a 30mpg 'vette initially, but if it's around long enough - people will believe.

 

I want AFM and big HP. And as the size of the engine increases so do the fuel savings due to AFM become more significant.

If it helps sell more Camaros to the masses you better believe it. We don't want Camaro to be killed off again due to lagging sales.

Something else to consider for those wanting a big cubic inch monster motor, is that it would probably keep you from having to pay a "gas guzzler" tax like the $1,300 extra Shelby GT500 buyers have to pay.
