Direct Injection/Active cylinder managment, maybe even Flex Fuel?
Not sure if this article has been posted before, but I was poking around on the internet looking for C7 info and came across it.

And another real good one...

Direct injection ?
Active cylinder management ?
Flex fuel ?
Cam phasing ?
Hmmm... Could be an interesting engine.

Both still have last posts within the last ten days and are on the first page as I type this.

I hope this does not add another area of difficulty for aftermarket tuners working on the fuel tables throughout the entire rpm range. Something tells me there may be a few mishaps before it all gets sorted out.

I'll let the shops have fun blowing up engines in the mean time. But I do look forward to finding out what tuners can do.
BTW, if these are flex-fuel ready, I'm definitely using it. The new job I got is not too far away from one of the few E85 stations in SoCal. There's 2 or 3 in Los Angeles all together. Considering Los Angeles is the largest county in the country with the most flex-fuel vehicles, it pisses me off we have less than a hand full of E85 stations.

I do hope the car is more responsive than the direct injection 2012 camaro I had, GM needs to do some serious tuning to that car before giving another to me.
It was the only car I had that the dropped mph when you pressed the fuel pedal to the floor, when you hoping for power you got nothing.

I've driven lots of direct injection cars (including a couple GMs) and none of them did that. Even a turbo one.
Based on my experience with Corvettes vs F-bodies, I've found that even with the fly-by-wire throttle, the Corvette was more responsive.

Hold onto your C5's and C6's if you like making power reliably.
