Make me feel better about owning an A4
I bought this car at an awesome price of 8500. 72k miles on it. Its currently sitting right now due to the fact of a blown engine and trans. My mods are.
I have this stuff already.
Performabuilt Stage 2 4l60
Yank PT4400
Patriot Stage 2 heads
Fast 90/90
SLP Underdrive pulley
Magnaflow catback, y-pipe, e-cutout
I have a torquer v2 now but probably selling it to go with an MS3 cam
IDK..just sucks that M6's put down more. I know its going to be aggravating and it is aggravating sometimes when people give you **** about owning an A4 SS because its "not a stick so it cant win races and sucks for a street car" kind of car. **** has been really pissing me off lately. That and there are no good videos of A4 LS1 Camaros on the internet anywhere.

I love my a4... it runs just as fast if not faster than some of the m6's around with the same mods... its all about preference the cars will do the same things with the exeception of higher trap speeds....

Automatics win races, not manuals. An auto will NEVER miss a gear, you have the chance with a manual everytime you speed shift. Idc who you are, no one can shift faster than a computer!!!!!

i had a 4000 stalled auto and did the swap to a m6 yea a4 will win at the track but if you take two of the same cars same mods ect one with a m6 one with a4 the m6 will rape it top end and o yea autos are so boring i agree with the guy above i will never even think about buying another auto sports car

Man I don't know. I've had two M6 cars and I wish I went with A4 since day one. Even though I've never had some of the clutch issues that many have had I still just find it a pain in the ***. Need a rear end if I want to launch the **** out of it, but there's A4 guys running 10s on 10 bolts. You've got a nice stall, a nice tranny and what looks to be a nice h/c setup there, I'd put it together and give it a shot. Betcha it RAPES at the track.

I've had both, and I'd go with the auto any day. I liked the M6, but I love my stalled auto. And with that PT4400 and the mods you have lined up, you're not going to have to worry too much about the 6-speed guys. You'll give them a run at the least. The PT4400 pulls crazy hard up top! Get it all together and see what you think....you'll be impressed IMO.

High school kids?? Yea, I suppose thats why many of the worlds best sports cars aren't even available in an automatic. Autos can be fast, sure, but that doesn't discredit the manual transmission in any way.
Take your stalled automatic on a road course and see how well you do against an M6, it would be a joke. Manuals do everything well - they put down the most power, run the fastest traps, and still get the best fuel economy. Discrediting that only proves ignorance.
If you enjoy your auto thats fine. But don't call out M6's as being "for high school kids", thats ridiculous.
