An auto will be more consistant and will shift faster than an m6 but in my opinion unless it is a track only car don't get an auto because they are boring as hell to drive on the street.

edit or even if it is a track car just practice driving and slam the hell out of the gears, like t56rebuilds says "real racecars have three pedals"

Wow, what a broad question. Your goona hear different opinions on this so I'll just give you mine. If you want consistancy and easy way to pull down those quick et's get an a4. If you want a quick street car and still be able to get 20+mpg stick with the m6.


Just remember real racecars have three pedals, not that im biased or anything.

Auto for the strip, more consistant and also doesn't hurt the rear end as much when you launch so your parts will last longer.
