You got some work to do there... It's a Hard Top, which is cool, but that got hit hard.

Yea It looks like its fixable without a doubt. But you could tube out the frontend and put a Big Block in

There is no need to convert to M6. Everyone bashes A4's but I don't understand why. Needless to say, I have a A4 and it's great. Throw a stall, shift kit, upgrade to billet servos, deeper pan and tranny cooler and you got yourself a badass setup. Why spend extra money when you already have a tranny?

stay auto!!! Yes you would put more power to the ground with a manual tranny, but at the drag strip you will definatly have the advantage. More consistancy and less parts to break!!!!

automatics definately have an advantage at the track, manuals definately have an advantage on the street from any speed.

well its gonna be my daily driver...and i want to take it to the strip occasionally. But, if the auto is still best for that then i will keep it. Plu si dont have the money at the moment to even think about converting it.
