YES this was from a dig

ok then......I guess your faster out of the hole than every auto on the planet, because you beat one automatic car.

Everyone knows a stalled auto is the choice for drag racing.

I wish I could be at 1600 rpm at 75. No denying that M6's are a lot better on the street and especially on the highway.

Once you both get fairly modified your auto will soon show it's "prowess."

I'm sorry but this does not always hold true. I have raced plenty of M6 from a roll and pulled on them.

But if you have two equal cars and one is an a4 and the other an m6. 95%
the m6 is always going to win. The same reason why m6 car usually traps higher than autos.

just roll raced my buddy and he has basicly the same set up as me but he has LT's and I have mids. From a 30 roll I owned him. Did the same to a new GTO manual form a 40 roll
