In my 01 SS, if you put it in D, it doesnt go into Overdrive...3 will be a little quicker(couldnt really tell) but wont get you as good gas
im guessing in our cars its the same, but also disables DoD..(Im guessing DoD only works with OD )

So you needed to read your owners manual to learn how to drive your GTP?
And to answer your asshattery - the owners manual doesn't inform you when AFM/DOD is activated/deactivated.

How the hell am I supposed to know what your owners manual says? I simply asked if it does.
The problem with text based communication is it's hard to decipher peoples intentions when they make their statements. My guess is you were probably drinking at the time you replied to mine, as your time stamp is fairly late, therefore your judgment on my comment was poor. Even if you weren't, your judgment was still poor, so back off.

I appreciate the apology. I stopped texting the significant other because for some reason it always caused problems when I was simply messaging her a simple statement, haha.

shouldnt be bad. its like driving a 3 speed. the car doesnt really have any gearing . might hurt your fuel mileage, and obviously on the highway you would want to use overdrive.

Very true, I honestly thought you were being an ***. Its obvious you werent. Now. I re-read some of my replies sometimes and think i sound like a dick, but one on calls me out so i assume they didnt perceive it that way.
