Default 01 gold a4 or 98 green m6 vert help me

i know the vert is more of a showoff than the coupe but would you rather get a
A4 or M6 vert, 01 a4 vs 98 m6
kinda leaning toward the a4 because of cruising but want more power off stock (meaning M6 more for rolling races) and after searching (about 2-3 days ) what does it take to get in the 12s or maybe 11s would be nice, for both the a4 and m6 i want solid mods that are guarantee 12s (no F.I or nitrous just bolt-on) those would come in then i am looking for low 11s or 10s

Get the 01. 01s have improvements over the 98 (better PCM and LS6 intake) and just adding a 3500 stall torque converter will easily put you in the 12s. Start adding headers and other bolt-ons will drop you to low 12s. Cam has you in the 11s

My O2 Vert says "Light Pewter Metallic" on the window sticker but I've seen it listed as a light gold pewter on other vehicles .
Although the manuals are more fun at times , overall the auto is better for cruising and is easier on the drive train , its also more consistant as far as E.T.'s go and far easier to launch out of the hole . Its the automatic for the win ! Game over !
