Just ask yourself how many NHRA funny cars and top fuel cars have an auto? Yes, it takes practice to get quick with a manual but you can shift one faster than an auto. Just ask Ranger.

This C6 with its A6 definitely gets up and goes, and I never have to worry about missing a gear. I do admit that sometimes I miss the M6, but I sure don't miss it while holding a Starbuck's and calmly cruising. These paddle shifts will take a bit of getting used to, though. They don't shift the gears instantly, so it's still possible to bang the rev limiter if you don't hit it in time.
I need to find a stock 2005 A4 C6 to see which transmission has the better acceleration. I'm thinking it's the A6. A6 vs. M6, the M6 car puts more power to the ground, but planting that power and hitting all the gears just right is an artform, so stock C6 M6 vs. my A6 would probably be 50/50 depending on the driver of the M6.

Are You getting a C5 or C6. Major difference. If you go with a C5 get the auto and change the rear end to a 3.42 with a good stall converter. The difference between the 2.73 and the 3.42 is Night and Day.

Keep in mind not all C5 autos got 2.73's guys 
Also, the top fuel car comparision is weak. Total different type of car and scenerio.
I personally like my auto. Sure manuals are fun but I live in a highly congested area and there's no way in hell I'd want to sit in traffic with a stick car.
I say drive both and see what you like. There are pros and cons to each.
