Wait wait, there is cylinder deactivation in these cars? That is the ONE thing that was driving me away from the 6.4l Challenger...the Camaro ALSO shuts off cylinders so I can't use the exhaust I use on my 6.1l HEMI? I had no idea the Camaro SS de-activated cylinders like the 6.4l Hemi... that was what killed the 392 HEMI deal for me as I have to tune it just to turn MDS off...I have NO clue the Camaro was pulling that as well in the auto, let alone the weaker L99....that kills proper v-8 exhaust options that get loud

My gear ratios for the 5-speed are as follows. 1st. 3.59, 2nd, 2.19, 3rd, 1.41, 4th, 1.00, and 5th, 0.83

Does the automatic really have cylinder deactivation stock? Please SS owners chime in.
