im talking about stock and stock. i came from having an auto car, and this is my first manual. i like how i have a direct connection to my drivetrain rather than have the pcm do the shifting for me. its your opinion which one is better preference for you, and i know you auto guys are biased about manuals. well i know a stalled A4 can whomp *** at the strip, im talking about a stock converter on a stock LS1 on a stock suspension.
thats why i said i feel no difference on pulling power of the 2 engines. and the ONLY way i would tell is having the LS1 M6 because im used to driving the M6 LT1.
and shes not getting a stall in it. she is scared **** of the power lol she came from a scion TC

know that. look this is my preference on the car... dont like it, dont post. all you A4 guys are gonna be biased against me but seriously... trying to make me religiously worship A4's IN STOCK FORM is a waste of time and key taps.
i know you can mod autos, i know alot of the things you can do to it and what it can do, ive been browsing this website and others for about a year.
anyways back on topic, she is getting the car tomorrow. once she gets it, im throwing the bitch on ramps and checking over everything on the underside. it needs a good cleaning inside the engine bay too, so ill de grease/dust it.

All that aside, I would at least consider a 2800-3000 stall for her. It's small enough to still act stockish under "normal" driving but just big enough to make you smile ear to ear under WOT. And maybe if you talk her into running her car at a 1/4 mile track then she may just surprise you with a new found hobby. Next year she could be talking heads, cam and a 4000 stall

Good luck with her car.

she got the car, i took the T tops off (dammit, shes 1 step ahead of me) and got on it on the freeway. it scared the **** out of her ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
shes afraid of driving it more than 1/4 throttle... so i think a stall will be wayy later on. im just gonna get her the SLP lid/loudmouth.
im already contemplating an LS6 intake for it, but she just looks at me like its not my car.
so i have a catfish in my driveway now

rear passenger quarter panel is done for, the spoiler/hatch is scratched/bent up/transmission is gone, and leaking, not going into gear.
