RE: running four cylinders
You will never notice it. Its the same technology that originally came on the cadillac northstar engine in the late 90's and then again in the new Hemi. What it does is when the computer detects that you are cruising in a low RPM it shuts down spark and injectersto 4 cylinders which increases fuel mileage. When the computer detects the throttle opening again it regains spark and fuelto all 8 cylinders, ie gas guzzling horsepower and lower mileage. If the 07's didnt have this then you would probably only get 10-12 mpg on the freeway.

im 99.9% sure our GT´s dont have that option.
I´ve heard somewhere that the engines can go to 4 cilinder mode if the engine overheats... though i'm pretty sure i'm wrong since i havent heard it in anthoer place or from somebody else lol.
