There is no need to convert to M6. Everyone bashes A4's but I don't understand why. Needless to say, I have a A4 and it's great. Throw a stall, shift kit, upgrade to billet servos, deeper pan and tranny cooler and you got yourself a badass setup. Why spend extra money when you already have a tranny?

stay auto!!! Yes you would put more power to the ground with a manual tranny, but at the drag strip you will definatly have the advantage. More consistancy and less parts to break!!!!

automatics definately have an advantage at the track, manuals definately have an advantage on the street from any speed.
