1) autos dont run from a 40 roll. rolls are for dinner, not racing
2) i have only lost to a few 6 speeds ever from a dig with similar power. i have raced a ton.
3) even the 6 speed guys will admit a cammed big stall auto will crush them.

most of the time from a dig a M6 car needs more done than a cam to keep up with just a stalled A4

Stalled autos are the way to go for drag racing.

Not to say the M6's can't do it well, but it's easier, cheaper and more consistent with an auto.

It seem I alway get them from a dig, but from a roll the M6 would have the advantage with a simular cam/set up.

from a roll the m6 will own a auto...But at the track, a stalled a-4 with say a 3500 stall isn't going to be faster than an m6 with a 12 bolt that can launch a 5,000+ rpms....... If the m6 can 60 ft similar to the stalled a-4 the m6 will run faster with a driver....

Werd to your

An M6 to me is more fun on the street. Hell, it usually fun to run at the track too, but launching can be a pain. An auto car with a stall will kick some *** on the track, even if it's not that impressive on a dyno. That is really the way to go.

Which would you rather be good at? The track or the dyno? I'd rather kick *** at the track and let the posers bench race their dyno queens.

The A4 may still win due to shift extension.
