You got your answer man, leave it alone.. chances of anymore useful info in this thread is slim.
I've said it before I'll say it again:

An automatic transmission in a performance car is like a GSXR with training wheels. They might be fast but any girly man can drive it. Real men drive manuals.

Talk about an ironic statement... You do realize this thread is talking about stock Fbodies in a strait line, which in case the M6's ARE quicker.

As if it matters when the other car reels you in and passes you by the end of the (boring) strait line race...

You do realize I think this thread is a complete joke?

And a properly setup stalled a4 isn't going to get ran down by an m6 by the end of the quarter. All things equal of course. You obviously don't know anything about making a car go fast in a straight line, shouldn't you be out driving in circles or something?


Lol you actually replied with a real post to mine. Awesome.

a stalled auto with the right tire is hard to beat from a stop but with equal mods from a roll a m6 should win 9 out of 10 times all depends on how u want ur set up a full exhuast stalled auto at the track will pull a 1.5-1.7 all day on the stock 10 bolt no way a m6 is doing that
