I'll assume your talking about a '98 like yours? Anyway they were both rated at 305hp. But if your wondering what they actually put to the wheels, the M6 would have a few more hp at the wheels due to the greater drivetrain loss in an A4... I think that is what you were asking...?

Typically a manual trans will have around 15% drivetrain loss, where an auto might have 18-20% loss. The auto is a viscous coupling through the torque converter, as opposed to the M6 which is a direct mechanical link through the clutch.
