Much easier to tune and get good driveability out of a big cam with a stalled auto. If I could swing it, I would switch in a heartbeat. The stall soaks up all of the low rpm surging that you get from a big cam. If you are going daily driver with mild cam then I would go M6 for fun factor.

In my opinion, I would get a 6 speed because there a lot easier to work on, less complicated than the auto trans, and a 6 speed is just a lot funner to drive around in. Auto is good for consistency, like for racing on the drag strip and stuff like that. 6 speed is good for cruisin around and just having fun with it. See, I dont race, so I would get a 6 speed for sure!

I guess I'll stay bias, however I made the switch from a stalled a4 to a M6 this past weekend. My car I think is much faster with the M6, but with the a4 I could launch better which propels good et's. Once I install the 9" I think I could get decent 60ft enough to run my low 11's. I can say driving from Ft. Worth, Texas to Alexandria, LA. my car averaged 28 mpg driving 75-80. Also, with the stalled a4 the car was loud, but now I have control of the exhaust note. Finally, my car feels more streetable with the M6. I think if you drag race an a4 might be your ticket, but if you drive your car regular and visit the track 3-4 times a year stay with the M6.

What about a five speed auto(5L60E)? Is that a good option. There's an '02 Formula A4 at my dealership that I'm looking at, and if swapping to a 5-speed is an option down the road, than I'm sold. The only thing is I do like shifting myself, but if I can get better launches out of an auto, and can make it go faster, that'll make me really happy.

Chicks love the guys who win races and keep a hand free to touch the erogenous zones of thier female anatomy. They are not impressed by guys who are always grabbing thier stick. Nuff said
