Yes I understand dragracing, practicly my whole family runs drag bikes localy. I understand how it works, braket racing that is.
But in a perfect world, NO car would have a automatic transmission, it would cut down on all the dumb asses we have driving today. I hate auto's, always have, always will. Will never have a automatic. NEVER

I'll give you a hint. It's not manuals
In a perfect world the manual would beat the auto in drag racing. But we live in reality chief so here is how the drag racing world really works:

You can keep your manual. I'll take the stalled auto and the win light

You guys must not understand that I would take a 14 second lt1 m6 over a 9 auto. Actually id take the nine and sell it and get me a m6. I could care less about performance, I'm talking about kahunas

and people wonder why i close 90% of the a4 vs t56 threads, its always the same **** bullshit. fact remains, nobody from either camp is gonna convince the other to switch over and i've yet to read a thread where any of these posts have convinced the original poster which tranny to choose. tranny selection is personal decision, period.

Does it really matter anyway? After enough power and upgrades both camps tend to switch to a TH400 with T-brake anyway

Performance wise stock they are closer than most folks think. My 01 SS A4 ran a best of 13.0@107.59 bone stock and hot laps easy 13.1's@106.7 with only a lid.
Gas mileage difference is pretty much meaningless when you consider the cost of a new clutch and the greater risk to the already fragile f body rear end.
I've had a lot of manuals and a lot of sticks over the last 30 years, I can appreciate both, I went with an auto when I bought my first LS1 f body last year because of the fragile rear end and the fact that there is little performance to gain with an M6 anyhow. Seems my SS proved me right with the times it runs.

M6- Can handle alot more power, like my 427.
A4- Can't handle a Tornado. lol
The 4l60 is garbage, if you want your car for the track you'll pull out either one and slap a TH350 in there anyway.
So in my opinion...M6 hands down.
Peace,
Craig.
