Anyone with an M6 and similiar mods want to try and prove this theory?
I can gather a few bills so loser pays gas or what not.
My money is on the A4 from a dig. Too many crappy M6 drivers IMO. Besides I am willing to wager my shift kit will more than compensate for even a good power shifting M6 driver.

see, my friend has an m6 98 ss canaro. the best that he can run is a 14.0x . he cant even hit the 13's in an ss camaro. and hes not the only one. i have seen an 03 cobra run a 14.4 vs. my boss who has a 91 5.7 tpi z28 (14.66). it all depends on the driver. there are way more lousy m6 driver out there then good ones. theres always too many excuses "my clutch this" bad launch that, i missed a gear blah blah blah . if you lose you lose. its a shame that most people tend to put shame on automatic owners. "nice car man thats awesome...oh wait its automatic. alot of ppl dont understand. the truth is i have had 2 mustang gt 5 spd and theyve been alright. everyone seems to think that the m6 is superior to the a4. well not when your riding around with your girlfirend(wink!) or trying to smoke a ciggarette while in city traffic. to each his own thogh. the point is i want to be an ls1 owner!!!

But in response to the original question...Stock for stock, it is definitely a driver's race. The T/A weighs a little more, but not enough to cause the outcome of the race

Look 'em all over good and go for the one that grabs YOU. Different colors grab each one of us differently. Different colors look better and worse to different folks on either of the body styles.

Even if the Trans Am weighs a little bit more, it's worth it! GET A TRANS AM!!! Everyone has a Camaro.... Get something that not everyone has! Stock vs. stock... it's a drivers race... a lot depends on the options too.... does the auto have 2.73 gears or 3.23s.... Even stock vs. stock isn't always far because one may be fully loaded and another may be a base model.... but it's still an LS1... only the best V8 motor on the market.. you can't go wrong if there is an "LS1 Inside"

ok.. i have a m6 stock z28 or what i say is pretty much stock.. it does depend on d/a to run into good numbers.. where i live its **** for d/a and the best ive got is a 13.5.. im not the best driver but id have to give my self props cause most a4 z's run 14.1 to 14.2 stock. ive seen m6's hit 13.8-13.9 stock here.. as for stock vs. stock it would be up to both drivers.. and ive seen a4's with crappy drivers. hahaha .. but at the track if u get me out the whole i dont care what any one says my 2nd and 3rd gear pulls harder then ne a4 ive been in..
just my .02
if i could get down to sea level ur looking at a high 12 sec stock car..

I can gather a few bills so loser pays gas or what not.
My money is on the A4 from a dig. Too many crappy M6 drivers IMO. Besides I am willing to wager my shift kit will more than compensate for even a good power shifting M6 driver.
