Default A4 or M6

What do u guys think. I have a few people telling me that on a cammed car a a4 is better than a M6. Take into account rear end holds. and a4 has a 3500SSF . which car would run faster? the one that launches off the line on the rev limiter or at 7000 RPMs or the a4 that stalls at 2000Rpms and flashes to 3500? All else being the same.

A4 if you want to be fast/consistent at the track. M6 have the "fun to drive" factor and shine during roll races. It's all personal preference. This is discussed almost every week.....do a search and check it out.

No. I am talking about who is faster. Not consistent. not an A3 on tranny brake. I mean launching at 3500 as opposed to launching at 7000 rpms. All else doesn't matter. Not drivability. Not trying to decide between the both. I know a 350 on a TB is faster and efficient. I mean a 4L60E. who is faster. i think its on M6

It would take a damn good stick driver to beat a stalled A4 (LS1 car, right? ) in the 1/4 mile. Figure most LS1's are good for low 13's stock. SOME M6's have hit high 12's with little to no mods. Put a ~3500 stall into an A4, and you can be hitting mid-high 12's. IMO, the stalled A4 for the win, all other things being EQUAL (engine, cam, suspension, tires, etc.).

Just IMO.
