The whole AFM thing seems like a bucket of worms to me. There seems to be lots of lifter and oil consumption issues. It seems like the first thing everybody wants to do to their L99, is swap out the exhaust. The next thing they want to do is, turn off the AFM to get rid of the drone. Then they're faced with the dilemma of voiding the warranty on the engine that probably needs it the most. It seems simpler to just push a clutch pedal to me.
Valid points. Mine is an auto and agree with most of your reasoning here.

I choose to drive an auto and even with the points noted here I chose auto again when I got my second Camaro. As a toy I would get manual. As my DD, auto is my choice.
