Default built tranny+stall...can it still run with M6 guys

hey guys just wondering even if u get a built tranny + a bigger stall, is that still enough to pull M6 guys from a roll, or do the M6 guys still got us?

a4's are faster and more consistent anyway. From a roll the m6 may have an advantage but just go from a stop and you will be able to holeshot him bc it is easier to hook an auto.

I'm still waiting to give mine the true test. My usual rivals car is down for a while. He's the closest to beating me. Although I did bust a zx14's *** a few nights back. Local guy that always wants me to run his turbo busa. Slow roll he pulled about a bike and a half from the hit and stayed there till 150-160, then I blew on by. It was sweet.

Stumprrp:
What year is your car? Lets make sure we are comparing apples to apples and not to oranges. If you have an ls1 vs an lt1 car it doesnt matter much about the tranny. your gonna blow his doors off if the two of you have relatively the same bolt ons. Just curious what your running?

True and also why do you think most people who drag use Auto.

With the right combination, yes a stalled A4 can beat a similarly modded 6-speed. The 6-speed gets the advantage, but it's not impossible by any means.
