I don't want to wait for their R&D team to come up with a performance tune which also includes disabling the AFM. They can issue a new tune to be downloaded to the cars in a week that completely disables AFM in M/S mode.
I totally understand your side of the issue, I honestly do. Personally though I do not feel that GM needs to fix or owes me anything, after all they did tell me upfront that the car was equipped with AFM and I had a choice when I purchased it. I think it operates exactly as designed; I just don't like it. But, I do not feel they owe me anything because the 5th Gen Camaro is the still best muscle car in the modern world even with AFM!

I think what we can all agree on is that we would like GM to help those of us who don't like the feature turn it off without voiding our warranty and I would rather pay GM then going after-market and jeopardizing my warranty.
