I'd LIKE to have an M6, but I just don't think rowing through the gears is something I would want to do everyday... I wish they made a M6 with a button you could press and it would turn into an auto.

Plus add to the fact I'm a big guy, and when I have to have my foot on a clutch, my boys are squashed between my legs. -TMI

sometimes i wish mine was a stick but i am sort of glad it's an auto. if it was m6 it would be broken a lot. from what i read in the street racing forum though seems a lot of people have a problem with missing gears a lot, maybe some of the "men" should learn to shift before messing with us "boys". jk

The difference between the A4 and M6:

The A4 offers an Additional 4 HP and the M6 offers a Minus 6 HP. That is why the A4 has 10 more HP and is better at the Dragstrip.

The M6 is for the guys that still have to play with 'it'.

The A4 is for the guys that don't need to play with it because they have a woman at home.

unless you drive an import, according to all those guys ive talked to, the M5 adds 10,000 HP, and an A4 is a 80% reduction in power, im still tring to figure out how a transmission creates power
