That is impressive by any standard. CAGS is only activated when you are rolling off the line slowly anyway. Unless you are taking it easy, you are not going to feel a single thing. It's overblown like the Prius runaway stories. Speaking of technology and Prius, now that is a car full of technology.

NASCAR Cup cars can run 9000RPM making 800HP+ with a carb on there!
I have got 3K miles on my Z06 and hit CAGS less than a dozen times. There are VERY specific parameters, and in the Z06 and I assume the Viper, they are a lot harder to "hit" than in the F-body I had.
