M6 is higher top speed. dash says 150 you go like a 170 or something like that although i had mine at 160 so i think M6 is little higher
EDIT- but i see you have an A4, just get a built A4 with a stall and you can have just as much fun because i've had both

Our cars are governed at 162 mph. If you take it off, its going to depend on rear end gearing, but i suspect you wouldnt get much out of 5th gear, and 6th gear would just be a dog if you could get it there. 5th and 6th are simply overdrive gears.

Ya, 5th and 6th are both overdrives but my car still pulls in 5th because 4th only goes up to about 140 then 5th gear you go and still pulling. But 6th gear is useless in top speed because i dont even think that you could max out 5th gear, atleast i havent thats to fast for my blood.

use this link to figure it out -->http://www.f-body.org/gears/
theoretically if you had the power and stock gearing the M6 could reach a higher top speed
