Yes AFM. Thats the price we pay for shutting down 4 cylinders. Not to bad for me. Got used to it. You also feel a slight vibration on the pedal.

I notice it on mine when the afm kicks in. The only time I can "feel" it kick in is in town driving. Doesn't really bother me though.

I am going to be buying a Camaro SS in January, and would like to know if this is something I should be wary of, or embrace.

Sorry, for my ignorance. I use this site for most of my research into what car I want to get.

Not an annoyance at all. I kinda like it but its not AFM. I can replicate it in park by barely pressing the pedal. Its just the pitch of the exhaust at a certain RPM has a much deeper sound and rumbles the car a bit.

If it's an "L99", it's the AFM, my Auto 2SS/RS Vert does it all the time, Sounds like S**t.

Every object (a Camaro is an object) has a resonant frequency at which that object vibrates. Maybe your engine's "one long song" hits that resonant frequency and your Camaro sings to you.

Here's an idea!

AFM went bye bye on mine 2 weeks after I got it. Hated It! Felt like driving a manual car in the wrong gear

I think you are correct, sir.
