The car will have the latest AFM. We've seen the dash showing a "V8" logo by the tach. It wouldn't say this if there weren't other modes.
Good thing is there will be no torque tube harmonics to deal with and no torque converter.

for everyone referring to old and new AFM, the new one is actually called Dynamic Fuel Management (deactivating all the way down to 1 cyl, vs the AFM can only go down to a V4, plus AFM deactivates the exact same cylinder banks, vs DFM changes it on a random), I imagine not being a problem deactivation so many cylinders on a performance car if it's fully doing it only in Eco or something like that.

Well, I sure don't want to get into that old discussion, so here's my comment and question:
For a system like AFM/DFM to show an EPA increase, it must be ON (default) when the car is started.
So...I wonder if the C8 is going to start up in "Automatic" with AFM/DFM enabled?

I wonder if the C8 will operate like that....using the paddles disables AFM?
