Not agreed by all. Some have claimed that AFM is working even in M mode. There was never a definitive answer from GM that AFM is OFF in any modes. There was a vague suggestion from Jeff (GM rep on the forum) that AFM should be OFF in M and S modes. However, the problem seems to be all over the place: AFM is off for some cars in M mode and off in both M and S modes for some newer cars. In some cars, it always on regardless of modes. The only way to be certain AFM is off in S or M modes is a tune which will void your warranty. If you are lucky that AFM can be turned off in M mode, then driving with paddles in the only option at this point unless you want to keep an anchor on the gas pedal to keep the engine reved up ALL the time. Don't slow down and drive like a normal driver.
