For me, the car isn't worth having w/ AFM in it's current form.

Amen! That's why I made this post. If you are one of those people who don't notice AFM (like my wife), then enjoy! But if you are planning to purchase an auto, please drive it on a lengthy test drive. Just realize if you notice hesitations, odd exhuast notes and the gear shift vibrating at low speeds... it not your imagination and I doubt you will just "learn to ignore it". But a tuned L99 is a different car!
Honestly, I would pay a gas guzzle tax for LS3 Auto, and if people could drive both at a dealer I think a lot of people would too. The tax would be equal to a couple of options or about the same as the RS package.
