3.42's only came on the six speed, and I don't know about you but unless John Force was in the drivers seat I would welcome a M6 driver with the same mods from a roll or from a dig. More often than not an A4 will come out on top unless you someone who really knows there car and how to shift. With the shift extension from a stall from a roll you get nowhere near the rpm dropoff that most A4 cars get.

The 98 Z28 A4 ran a 13.3@105 bone stock. WIth DR's and a weld-in muffler I saw it run 13.1@104.
The TA I cannot speak for as I did not see it's track times.

Did they buy these cars new?
I doubt it came from GM that way. If it did, somebody f-ed up on the assembly line.

The autos still only trap 103ish-104 and the M6 with teh same hp will usually bang out a 104+
